The players who are sitting out a year because of KHSAA transfer ineligibility will be playing in the games against non-KHSAA competitors. With the KHSAA's 'one year from last varsity competition' rule for eligibility, and many kids coming from programs with COVID-shortened seasons, that means the entire team will be eligible prior to the GLCAC playoffs in Canton, and many will be ready after Week 5.

The intent of the GLCAC games during regular season - particularly the ones occurring back-to-back after games against KHSAA teams - is apparently to give the KHSAA ineligible players an opportunity to play.

Rare window to game the system.

How can you be ineligible and still play for the school? If you are a KHSAA member school don’t you have to follow all guidelines?

This whole ordeal seems like a mess. I just can’t see this panning out.

I agree sounds like a mess, and to be honest anything but good, or legitimately good for kids…. But hey, let’s see how it unfolds.

Thanks CWB.  That makes sense.  It would take two squads to complete this schedule in a reasonable manner.

Yeah, makes interested in seeing what their numbers are. Seems would have to have a lot of kids to pull off the dual schedule.

Right? 45 kids, and they're saying they have enough kids to field two completely separate squads?

Smith also played at North Texas - that makes a total of 5 colleges. Not exactly a sign that he knows a lot about what it takes to be successful in college.

If they are fielding 2 separate “teams” - they should not be able to practice together. Isn’t that essentially a scrimmage?

 

If it’s 1 team, shouldn’t they be limited to 10 games?

Does anyone know what class they will be in when they do join KHSAA full time. This has all the makings of a school that will do anything to win.

Should be single A since very small school.

For as much as I like the pants on their uniforms, man those are some butt-ugly jerseys.
