In the case of 2 kids then the parents can claim 1 each and if 1 kid then you can take turns. It depends on the court and lawyers.

Then the KHSAA is breaking the law. In these situations the law allows for custody modification, KRS 403.340. If the KHSAA can and will not abide by court orders, then they deserve everything the courts do to overturn them. They are only an administrative agency, not a court or even a branch of government.

 

For the discussion involving divorces and changes of custody, I direct the attention to Sections 2) b) AND 2) c) of By Law 6. If a player's parents were never married obviously 2) b) doesn't come into play. 2) c) addresses changes in custody. In order for the change of custody exception to the one year period to be met, there must be a court order issued under circumstances indicating the former parent custodian was unfit; or the court finds that the health and welfare of the student would be better served by the change in custody. Furthermore keep in mind that even if the 2) c) exception is met, Section 3)c) (transfer motivated in whole or in part by a desire to participate in athletics at the new school) trumps that and a kid is not eligible.

I haven't read the last page or two of this thread but has anyone discussed his interview in the Boyle County student newspaper?

 

I believe it was discussed earlier. If I recall correctly, in the interview Dunn talked about why he came to Boyle and pretty much admitted it was because of athletics. It was commented in this thread that he helped seal his own fate by what he said in the interview.

Can he go to Lincoln Co?

Is my memory correct, LN, that you faxed me a case from the 70s involving this issue and the KHSAA? I seem to remember the KHSAA prevailing at the state supreme court level.

If I did, I don't remember doing so. To be honest with you, I can't even think of the case you are referring to.

My recollection is that you found an old case from the WKY area - maybe Madisonville where this exact situation arose. Player's parents were divorced. Player moved from one parent's house to another and the KHSAA ruled him ineligible. Went all the way to the state SC and the KHSAA prevailed. My guess is was about 1974.

Man it stinks how the memory goes as I get old. Oh well, it beats the alternative.

Just heard from pretty solid source that Will Dunn lost his appeal and has been ruled ineligble. I really hate that for him. I hope he can still find a way for him to play at the next level.

I hate that for the kid just didn't see anyway that he could get eligble. Good luck to him.

There is a story on this in the print version of the Sunday Danville Advocate Messenger. An online story hasn't appeared yet and after the comment section blew up over the last story on this I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't put an online version up.

 

The Dunn's will be appealing the ruling again and have hired a lawyer out of Lexington for representation.

I hope everything works out for him. You would hate to see a kid miss his/her season senior for any sport. Let the kid play! :thumb:

Don't think that he will get to play for Boyle though. He may have to move somewhere else to play.

It is just a shame. The kid could have just worked hard and played for one of the best coaches in Kentucky at Danville but instead he looks toward his senior year with a lesson in the legal system.

Can he go to Lincoln Co. without the legal transfer or is it a Danville/Boyle thing?
