Gallatin has ineligible players?

[thekeg55]

Has the TSSAA had their meeting yet? and if so what was the decesion.

TSSAA does not waiver

Thats a bunch of BS, the TSSAA should really look at changing their bylaws, to comething that is more clear.

I have some potentially uplifting news. Someone from the communtity (not the school) is filing a law suit that will be heard in court next Thursday 11-6-03. The Gallatin football players had a meeting this morning to dicuss this. Gallatin will practice throughout the week next week in the event that the case comes out in favor of Gallatin, in which case the player will become eligable and Gallatin would get thier wins back. Though I would not get my hopes up, I feel that there is a better chance that the case will be in favor of Gallatin than there was in their appeal with the TSSAA.

This may be splitting hairs , but if you continue to practice after your season is deemed over by the TSSAA you may be in violation of TSSAA regulations. By TSSAA bylaws your season is over if you do not qualify for the playoffs or a bowl game.

Well what will they do then.....they all ready took our season away from us.

 

There is alot of very interesting info that is about to come to surface. Everybody who thought that this was over.....

[thekeg55]

I figured a lawsuit would be filed, woulden't the first time the TSSAA has been welcomed to a courthouse. They migt need to do some unincoroprated practices, so they are not in violation. Should be interesitng, it is going to have to move quick, which team would be put out, if they were to make the playoffs? Would they win the region? This will be a landmark case in Tennessee, will for sure result in a rule change I would say.

Other than the brentwood academy lawsuit that really had more to do with free speech than any sports stuff the TSSAA doesn't lose lawsuits as a matter of fact the brentwood academy one is the only one I am aware of?

[GWAVE1]

Well get ready for the fireworks this week. Gallatin has got 2 lawsuits against the TSSAA. From what I understand(granted this is hearsay) , the family has filed one today and the big one comes down Monday. Supposedly subpoenas have been issued tonight. There is a lot of information that I have but I will only comment on it once it becomes public record.

 

Gallatin the uncrowned region 5-5A champions? Hummm

Not to predict what they'd do, but the standings if Gallatin doesn't forfeit would indeed have the Green Wave on top, with 1-3 sliding down a step each and Glencliff being pushed out. Insult to injury, that would also knock the Colts back down to 4-6, thus taking away bowl eligibility.

[Gtowner]

These lawsuits are going to be very interesting. From the info. that I have, it seems that Gallatin has a very good case. Like GWave, I know alot, but it is mostly hearsay, so I would not want to spread any false information.

[thekeg55]

If anyone could get there hands on the lawsuit I would like to have it e-mailed to me, I can give you my e-mail if you can get them
