I want to add to this, if the KHSAA approves him to play at Cooper it means that any parent that works in the Boone County school system can switch schools (Boone, Ryle, Conner, Cooper) as they see fit which would be in definite violation of the KHSAA rule as it stands and could give one or more of those schools a competitive advantage moving forward.

 

In other words, it would be a really bad precedent.

 

 

There is already precedent set where they have denied a student eligibility for switching from a school outside his district back to his home district without a change of residence.

I believe we are talking about two different things. dd and I are talking about the policy of the Boone County schools that allows school employees to put their children in any Boone County school they see fit. However, that local policy does not override the KHSAA transfer rules. If Aaron was allowed to play sports at Cooper it would essentially mean that Boone County athletes that have parents working in the system could move around at will and the KHSAA transfer rules that apply to everyone else would not apply to Boone County athletes with parents working in the system.

Gotcha...

Couldn't he declare a hardship at Boone to get a waiver? They could say he's being bullied or whatever and he transfers another Boone County school.

So now you are encouraging them to lie. Lol

 

His dad is asst principal at Boone. I don't think that will fly.

And that (playing sports or not) should not have anything to do with where the family lives. It should not matter if they live 10 miles away and move next door to CovCath, it should not matter if they live 10 miles away and do not move.

 

And it doesn't matter where he lives, so long as you follow the KHSAA transfer rules. Seems pretty simple to me.

Frankly, and I will tell any of the family in person if I see them, I believe they are already being deceptive with the transfer so I am not seeing the barrier there Hellbird.

 

But I do agree with you, with dad being a Principal at Boone I don't see this one going anywhere.

Tick tock...tick tock...

I was told Aaron had a hearing today and it will be approximately two weeks before the KHSAA gives a decision.

 

What a mess. If the KHSAA says no, and by rule it should be no, then it looks as if Aaron could possibly miss the entire football season.

No way he's he's permitted to play at Covcath if the Khsaa has any stones whatsoever. The transfer is outside the spirit of the rules.

I will bring this case up again because it is very similar from what I know - Pouncy transferring from Ludlow to Holy Cross a couple years ago. The longer this Floyd case goes on, the more it reminds me of Pouncy. If I recall, Pouncy had a late hearing like this. He ended up being allowed to play for Holy Cross but missed the first 2, 3, maybe 4 games of the season. I have never heard an explanation of how he was ruled eligible to play for Holy Cross. This is a big pet peeve of mine and I think a disservice by the KHSAA. They should publicize the logic in their decisions in these cases. They can maintain any required confidentiality. They need to let their membership know their reasoning.

It takes about two weeks to go through all the required practices for heat acclamation before you can play. So it looks like he's going to be out at least the first two games if not more.

I also have a report that the appeal/waiver was denied today.

 

I really don't know what to think at this point but I feel confident in saying that the waiver has not been granted. In other words. Aaron has not been cleared to play at CovCath but the final decision may not have been made yet.

No way he's he's permitted to play at Covcath if the Khsaa has any stones whatsoever. The transfer is outside the spirit of the rules.

 

If you've followed the KHSAA's transfers you'd realize that no one can predict who they deem eligible or ineligible.

Looks like a done deal, Aaron Floyd's hudl page has been updated from Covington Catholic back to Boone County.
