The KHSAA cannot be immune from the legal system. Even though I am sure some think they are, ... noone or no organization should be immune or consider themselves above the law. If so, why have a legal system, .. as flawed as it may be.

 

Obviously they won't be immune, we will continue to have the same ruling system, and we will continue to have rulings that have teeth for some areas, schools, and students, and we will continue to have rulings that have no teeth for others. As standing, we simply just have another political burocracy. Supreme court justices hold their seat for life. District judges that make these rulings in our state do not.

Maybe we should just let the old school have the say kind of like it is now, I know that sounds dumb considering, but honestly if you say no exceptions unless the old school permits it, you have to believe they would have a heart and sign off on a kid like in the example where his parents died.

I prefer to think the judges rule on matters of law and not school affliation.

 

Name something in this country that cannot go to a lawsuit and/or an appeals process.

 

There is NOTHING, which is not good in and of itself. Mostly lawsuit.

Once again, I do not understand how the court should be able to intervene in KHSAA affairs. The organization will never have any power as long as a judge is allowed to decide the merits of its rulings. For example, do you think that a Campbell County district judge would ever find in favor of the KHSAA when they have ruled a player say from a school like Highlands ineligable. I don't think so.

 

Why would anyone want to give them any more power than they currently have? They aren't a part of the KDE, and they're already arbitrary in their rulings, so why reward them with even more power to use as they see fit? :confused:

They are basically a part of the KDE or at least the governmental oversight procedures for education. The bylaws must go through the KY Board of Education, if I am not mistaken. That is where Prop 20 died.

Slavery ended 140 years ago. The children are not owned by any school board. This whole idea that the public educators are entitled to force your child to enroll where they see fit is crazy. Let them attend wherever they want. If a teacher moves, he doesn't sit out, does he? Even in mid year, coaches come and go all the time. It should be the parent's decision until the student is 18. Then the decision transfers to the student.

 

As far as why a child leaves, who cares. It may be as simple as he likes the new mascot better.

Let them move freely. Of course this may point out many faults and raise many questions why children are leaving a particular school. Freedom of choice. The parents are accepting the responsibilty of getting the child to and from school...free transportation was never an intent of the education provision.....let the kid go and the old AD ought to get over himself.....

 

So your official position is you don't like the rule so break it?

There is only one way to eliminate the what ifs. Some will always be hurt by the process. There is no favortism when you simply say it is the same for all.

 

The only way to eliminate the what ifs is to let kids play at whatever school they attend...

So your position is that a kid could play for School A (who is not making the playoffs) on a Tuesday, withdraw on a Wednesday, play for School B (who is making the playoffs) on a Friday and that is okay. And if he didn't like his playing time, either reenroll in School A or go to School C.

KHSAA goofed in their filing, but still I don't think this is right we ought to just fold up KHSAA and let the state government control high school athletics.

I read the article in the Times Tribune. Can anyone explain what it meant and what recourse does the KHSAA have now?

It appears that the KHSAA filed a waiver against allowing James Tuilano to play instead of Alex Patrick, so Judge Braden ruled in favor of Patrick.:confused:

 

I guess that Tuilano can't play though, whoever that is.

Will Whitley Co. let him play now?

This could wind up getting even more interesting now because, KHSAA can file an appeal, not to mention this would be legal malpractice if an attorney couldn't even get the names right on the papers he was filling.

Can the KHSAA refile the papers with the correct name?
