can you post the salaries of the idiots making these decisions?Fran - not going to comment on a lawsuit. But I do think with what we already know on players eligible the Association will look really bad. Aurora Hawk can comment if he wishes.
what are the current salaries of these people and how do they get voted out?
I was wondering what the salaries are of those at the IAHSAA.The Board of Control? I don't think they get paid anything from the IAHSAA. They are school superintendents from around Iowa. Pretty easy to look up.
Bald - I don’t know that and not who I am commenting on. I think a simple search of articles in the papers (hint Valley QB and Dowling lineman) may help. If you can distinguish those and other cases great would love to know.

Bald - totally agree and I surely don’t want any kids ineligible especially with all that is going on. Was simply stating on info we do know and the Association’s moving target it seems Arland has been treated very different. But you are right. Unfortunately they don’t tell us their reasoning and how they make decisions. All good buddy.
i did. he told me i was ineligible for that information.
By the association I believe he is, could be wrong though. Others were told by their respective schools they wouldn’t be eligible though.Is Arland (or Arlund, as you have called him) the only one to be told they would not be or are not eligible to play?
Right. Which is what I've been saying. The school does the initial research and decides eligibility. They then submit the information to IAHSAA for review. I'm having a hard time believing Ankeny knew all this information and decided he was eligible. Maybe. But as you said, there were others who were denied by IAHSAA, and likely even more who were told by the school district and the public never even knew about.By the association I believe he is, could be wrong though. Others were told by their respective schools they wouldn’t be eligible though.
Off the top of my head (no comments please) I would guess that it is the fact that Bruce and his mom are living "in another part of the house" as is quoted and not in a separate apt. and are paying only $100. I can't figure out any other reason. You'd think that the younger brothers being now under the wardship of their uncle would be okay, and the fact that their mom goes down to see them, well, think what people would say if she DIDN'T.Bald - I don’t know that and not who I am commenting on.

I’m not sure any others have been declared ineligible by the IHSAA, by the school yes.Right. Which is what I've been saying. The school does the initial research and decides eligibility.

Is that true? If so, that's interesting. Curious how you might know this? It's really the school's responsibility to do their own research and due diligence. Like I said, I wonder what the district knew, if they passed it along for review thinking it would be ok, or if maybe they told the family the kid would not qualify for an exemption and the family decided to challenge it.I’m not sure any others have been declared ineligible by the IHSAA, by the school yes.
I don’t know for sure, but haven’t heard of any others ruled ineligible by the IHSAA.Is that true? If so, that's interesting. Curious how you might know this?

Gotcha. I'm aware of two other ineligible players at different schools, but I'm not sure whether they were ruled on by their school or the IAHSAA. There were also players who simply went home right away after being told, presumably by the school, they would have to sit the requisite 90 days.I don’t know for sure, but haven’t heard of any others ruled ineligible by the IHSAA.
Why do you hang around if the State of Iowa "Sucks" so badly? I don't know what you are referring too with that statement.Too bad for the kid but honestly, if he's going to spend the next for years in that state and football program he just better get used to lame ass rules and unequal/unfair enforcement of those rules. I used to exclude Iowa City when pointing out how bad the state of Iowa sucks. It's getting impossible to do anymore. The state is a complete embarrassment these days

Triangle - honest answer. “No.” I will get it figured out or have one of my kids show me. Sorry. I missed the on ramp for the technological highway.
4 guaranteed games left. Almost have to wonder if it’s even worth it anymore
He's practicing with the team. It is his Senior season. Even if he is declared eligible right before the playoffs, why give up?
I’m not saying he should give up. He should keep practicing. My fear for him is they’re just gonna keep stringing things along and dragging it out until Ankeny is done
Was the injunction denied from Thursday? Or has there been a ruling? Sorry if I missed it?
Zoe - it was denied which is not surprising as there is the whole admin process. Quite frankly, without saying too much, part of the injunctions was to light a fire to get faster consideration in the admin appeal process.
It’s a shame they won’t let a high school kid play football even though he is a full time student in the district. What will their ruling be when a foreign exchange student decides to play football? No, no, no, you don’t have a home and the rest of your family in the district so you can’t play. What a travesty.
Lol. He CAN play. He just has to sit out 90 days like all other transfers. Bruce family is asking for an exemption from the rule. The IAHSAA is saying he doesn't qualify.It’s a shame they won’t let a high school kid play football even though he is a full time student in the district.
