Now THAT is one of the funniest post I have read on BGP in sometime! :laugh::laugh::laugh:

That impression would be wrong, although from what I hear, most Board Members are under the same impression. Why do I feel that impression is wrong? Because the KHSAA's own due process procedure ( specifically Section 3.I of the procedure) permits a party to appeal the KHSAA's position to the judicial system. Now I ask you, student, if one of the conditions of becoming a member meant that the KHSAA's decisions superceded all legal court proceedings, why would the KHSAA expressly permit a party to appeal the KHSAA's decision to the judicial system?

 

Wouldn't the right to appeal a KHSAA decision to the judicial system by contradictory to the assertion that the KHSAA's decision superceded the judiciary's decision?

 

What good is a right to appeal to the judiciary (which is granted via the due process procedure) if a school can't follow it and is bound by the KHSAA decision?

 

For Leatherneck and the lawyers out there, can an administrative agency of the state (which the KHSAA is) even legally require, as a condition of membership, that a school agree to accept the KHSAA's decision as final and superceding the judiciary? Taken in another context, could the Employment Compensation agency tell an unemployed person that a condition to filing an unemployment claim meant that such person had to agree that the Employment Compensation agency's decision supeceded a subsequent court ruling on the issue?

 

Having posed those questions, I do find it odd that Highlands would now, at this point in time, request the State Board to direct the KHSAA to reverse the sanctions. The only reason I can think they would do so is that the General Assembly has now told the KHSAA in no uncertain terms, I'm advised by friends in the LRC, that the KHSAA cannot impose such sanctions in the future. Perhaps the Highlands administration believes that if the KHSAA cannot impose those sanctions in the future, it was wrong for them to impose them in the past and that the State Board will agree with that reasoning.

 

Hemlock any one?

 

 

Sorry, but see post No. 21. And hemlock sounds better than getting involved in this dispute again. I'll stick to just reading the posts this time and chuckle at those that think they know the facts.

Just curious here as to where you came upon that impression. I really have no idea, but I would find it very hard to agree to such a stipulation.

 

I recall reading this at one time in the KHSAA bylaws. It's sort of like Kentucky's Athletic Mafia. You play by their rules or take your ball and go home.

 

Mitchell wanted to play offensive, but Coach Ray thought his best option in College was on the "D" side of the ball.

 

Fact: Coach Ray was correct as he played DB in College is now a DB for Oakland in the NFL.

 

R...

 

Mike wanted to play both sides of the ball which he got to do at HHS. Hard to argue that he wasn't the best offensive back at CCH. Him and Ellison in the backfield would have been two real threats to go to the house. I seem to remember him scoring HHS 2 TD's against us in the 18-0 playoff loss.

I forgot some of this stuff but can I ask why the family got an apartment? And why he changed schools?

 

I suppose only the Mitchell's could say for sure but I would guess because they didn't want to sell their house in Florence. And I believe the Mitchell's are back living in their Florence house but I don't know that for sure.

Not sure of:

So because Coach Ray wanted an NFL caliber player to play one way in HS, he is "correct"? I could come up with some other adjectives to describe this decision and "correct" couldn't be one of them.

Even Coach Mueller didn't use Mike a lot on offense. I think it has to do more with politics for both coaches than it has to do with how talented Mike was in high school.

Understood

My guess is the parents might be living in a different bigger house by now.

On a sidenote, fellow transfer Mike Stowers is living with Mike in San Francisco.

There was a really good summary of the entire Mitchell case. I thought it was on BGP but I could be wrong. If anyone could find that, it would really help with the timeline of the events of the case.

You sure do say a lot for 94.

 

The bottom line is that those of us that know few facts about the situation sure do like to point fingers and make accusations.

 

I agree with theguru that little good for HHS can probably come from this, though standing in principle is something that I admire.

 

I will be very clear as to what I am saying in case I wasn't already. There is a power base from Ft. Thomas both in the state senate, and district courts, that are not going to go against Highlands program. They rely too much on support from that area both financially and politically to get elected. Everyone in the state knows that you are not supposed to be eligable when you change schools without a change of address according to the KHSAA. Highlands and Mitchell didn't want to follow those rules, so they went to a higher authority. They had enough political power to get the rulings in the courts, where many children and districts have not. It is truly nausiating to think that high school athletic rules are so heavily tied into political connections that some districts follow different rules than others.:puke:

Thank you for answering for yourself.

 

How do you KNOW the intent of HHS's motivation and reasoning? This seems more like speculation than fact, so I just want to be clear on that.

Absolute fantasy! :ohbrother:
