I fixed it for you.

Color me shocked!!!!!!

I wonder why the KHSAA said they did not meet the residence requirement?

I say let em play.

Agree.

The dad said basketball was not a concern when choosing this school. So what is the problem? They were able to relocate from a bad environment and now are living in a better place and the kids are doing well in school. Don't see why it becomes an issue that they should be allowed to play hoops.

Long term picture.

Please explain.

KHSAA is a joke, how they have no problems letting some play when transferring to other schools but not letting others. You either let them all play or you don't let any of them play, not both.

The issue isn't whether hoops is a requirement for them to be faring better overall. The issue centers around the reason they were denied the ability to play this year. Why?

Please explain.

 

They got away to move into better situation. Looks like kid wants to play hoops for shot at college scholarship to take his education to the next level. That's how I see the denial of their eligibility as an issue.

If they moved with their fathers as stated in the article I don't see how they are ineligible. However, statements saying that Cordia wants to be like a prep school does not help their cases. I'm curious if there are any other students from similar situations who do not play basketball.Regardless, I feel bad for these guys who are only trying to improve their circumstances.

In his junior year, Ortiz began to research schools outside of New York. Through a friend, Ortiz learned about Cordia and its credit-recovery program "where students could catch up on missed or lacking high school credit and improve their grades to improve the likelihood that they graduated on time."

 

Ortiz visited Cordia twice — once with his mother and then with his father. Raymond Ortiz and his son moved to Hazard in July and rented an apartment near Cordia.

 

"At no point in time during their visits to Cordia or in their discussions prior to enrolling did Ortiz or his father discuss or request information about the basketball program at Cordia," the suit says. "Ortiz and his father had no contact or discussions with anyone involved with the basketball program at Cordia prior to enrollment."

 

According to the article they transferred to make up for missed credits to graduate on time. Hoops was never in the discussions. Not sure why it would be an issue now?
