Court Injunction Filed by Fairview

Well, I can tell you from first hand knowledge that when Rose Hill got their penalty, the players there, male and female alike, had virtually a free pass to go anywhere they wished.

Looks like Sharon Rowsey represented the players as she does all of the Fairview transfers. I know for sure she isn't cheap. Wonder who is footing the bill?

Can't play without a coach. Administrators turn a blind eye to what is going on. I think they are the guilty parties. I think punishing with post season loss is putting a band-aid on a broken arm. Punish the guilty parties. Integrity starts at the top. If you penalize with post season penalty, and you have the same coaches and admin in place, how long before the same thing reoccurs? Punish the coaches and administrators and perhaps you can curb it better. I don't know the best solution. I'm not sure we aren't headed for club sports and seeing high school sports as we know them in the rearview mirror anyway.

 

I agree. Fire the coaches and administrators. Don't allow them to coach a KHSAA sport again, and punish the program with a lack of post season participation. Then everyone is paying a price.

They all bailed at Rose Hill with no questions asked . They all were ruled eligible correct? What was wrong was the kids that stayed had to suffer the punishment for what adults did very sad .

Why should this year be any different? They have 5 or 6 new kids every year that make a big impact on the team. Graduate top player's every year just to bring in new ones the next. Kind of sounds like college.

This is high school not college. It's not a realistic/fair/right to ask an entire school to suffer because of a few folks actions. Should the entire school get to transfer so that the girls that want to cheer for their football team can? What about the band members that want to play at the home games? Students that just want to go cheer on their friends? This is high school football not big money college football, I'm sorry but your proposal is ridiculous.

 

This.

 

This would totally defeat the whole purpose of the rule. Every kid that transferred because of this rule change would be transferring for athletic intent.

 

High Schools are not like colleges. For example, at Penn State and USC, athletes were allowed to transfer without having to sit out a year. This isn't college though... What about those that are not able to transfer? There are families involved in these situations and not just one kid. Having a free transfer rule would just open up so many more questions.

 

Although, it is difficult to come up with a correct punishment. There would have to be some hard facts to punish coaches.

All were not eligible. Brush up on the facts before posting.

Chris "the Stem Dog" Stemmer was ineligible. Correct.

 

And oddly enough, at Fairview.

He wasn't the only one. Another kid transfered to Raceland and the was dq'd.

[spindoc]

Track kid. You're right. But clearly those are the only 2 I can think of. Far more were given the free pass.
