Guessing this means he’s not eligible to play HS football in Iowa.
Mepo - not yet. Still waiting on the appeal ruling which I think will be adverse. However, if so, the immediate action will be back to Court. Bottom line is will be shocked if we don’t know this week.
Shouldn’t it have been delivered today?Mepo - not yet. Still waiting on the appeal ruling which I think will be adverse. However, if so, the immediate action will be back to Court. Bottom line is will be shocked if we don’t know this week.
5 days or 5 business days? And 5 days for it to be delivered/mailed or 5 days for them to make a decision and then mail it?Don’t ya think? Something about rain on a wedding day or death row pardon 2 minutes too late. But seriously, it is being sent to my office. They have 5 days from last Thursday to issue the ruling. We asked for email of the ruling and when they said no we offered to drive to their office to get it. Once again denied. Weird since they emailed the initial ruling. Just infuriating especially for Arland, his family and the team and coaches.

Keating is not saying you cannot move into or live in an apartment and still be eligible. Or that you cannot live with another family member (grandparent, aunt/uncle, etc)
Yes, those may be his words (no link) but you are not reading them correctly.
So you believe that Tom Keating is saying that no Iowan can live in an apartment and be eligible to participate in iahsaa sanctioned activities? You truly believe that is what he said or is saying?Please provide your interpretation

You need to look at the part where he says "give up their home" and "make residence in Iowa or a district" vs simply renting an apartment (wink, wink) or staying with a relative to get around the rules.Please provide your interpretation
True but that can be said about a lot of things with sports: more money leads to more/better opportunitiesBasically if you are rich you can come to Iowa and play but not if you are poor or have less money.
Very true.True but that can be said about a lot of things with sports: more money leads to more/better opportunities
Did you read the entire comment? And put it into the context that it was intended? I think you need to take another crack at 'reading it correctly'. He was addressing the issue of people 'moving' to Iowa for the fall.
Really it comes down to if a family is going to pick up and move and give up their home, wherever they’re at now, and come and make a residence in Iowa and some districts in Iowa, then by administrative code, they're eligible. If they don't, if they try to get around it by living with a relative or a friend or renting an apartment or something of that nature, then that doesn't cut it.
Which is ton Keating and the ihsaa basically deciding for themselves whether a kid living in an apt or with a relative is worthy of playing. So if someone with the wealth to do so buys a house it's fine right? Or if they sign a lease at 2k a month that is ok? It is a commentary on wealth not on intent.
Once again this rule sure didn't seem to apply to Tom when he was the coach at Dubuque Wahlert.

Ummm, I did. When asked for an interpretation it didn’t appear that you did.
Hawkedoff said: "Tom Keating stating quite clearly that a kid living in an apartment doesn't qualify from his perspective." I said Keating said no such thing and asked if you honestly believed that his quote means he feels any student athlete living in an apartment, condo, mobile home, or any other type of rental home was ineligible.
My interpretation of what he allegedly said (since no link was provided and we don't have the full quotes), is that if a family gives up their home and comes to Iowa and makes a residence, then they are eligible (although those are pretty vague stipulations..........what does it mean to give up your home or to make a residence?). If they simply sign a rental agreement, that doesn't automatically mean they are eligible, as it doesn't necessarily mean the family/parent(s) have moved into the district or that the rental agreement is for an actual rental property, etc. For years, families have tried to get around the system (as Keating mentions) by getting a PO box in a school district, using a relatives address as their own, renting a place that they don't actually reside in, renting a garage or building and claiming it as their residence, giving guardianship to a coach or school employee or parent of a teammate and saying that the kid lives with them, etc. That's why he is saying simply having a rental agreement isn't enough.
Allegedly said. My god you are a fool. Go look it up yourself in the Des Moines Register. I copied and pasted the paragraph relevant.
Your interpretation is yours and mine is mine. My interpretation though is based on his actual words and how he has followed through on those words with this kid.
You do understand the judge has already made it clear the ihsaa needs to clear him to play right? That he didn't rule because the kid hadn't exhausted his appeal to the ihsaa but told them what he expects.
Tom Keating and the board will get their asses kicked in court and maybe they should. The way they have conducted themselves here is shameful. None of them should be retained on that board.
Well, I guess I better advise student athletes that I know that are currently living in apartments that their eligibility is in jeopardy. Please don't share that with the IAHSAA.
Wonder how many kids in Cedar Rapids, Waterloo, Des Moines, etc, live in apartments and are still eligible.
