The NIAA sucks. You’re going to disqualify an entire team because of one student’s ineligibility hours before a final? GTFO
The NIAA is strange. It is not part of the school districts correct? It seems like a private company run by people that like to tinker with stuff that is not broken.
It’s like an HOA board for people obsessed with high school sports.
NIAA is a joke….so glad CCSD schools are out on football and hopefully every other sport in the next few years.
Heard a rumor the kid had a 0.0 GPA. It was on Basic to ensure they had compliance throughout the season. 0.0 GPA’s don’t appear overnight in May.
okay… so disqualify the kid.
I would probably let the team keep playing because it’s high school sports and no one should care that much, but I don’t think it’s crazy to have a team forfeit if it won games using an ineligible player. First, you had an unfair advantage that you shouldn’t have had. Second, the league wants to incentivize teams policing themselves and kicking out ineligible players before the league gets involved. Allowing tainted wins to stand would encourage teams to hide eligibility issues and ride the ineligible player as far as they can.
It’s a team sport. This happens in all team sports at all levels. You field an ineligible player, you forfeit that game as a minimum penalty. Its on the team, the coach, the athletic director, and the school to verify that every athlete is eligible to play.
and why is the NIAA waiting until the day of the championship to determine player eligibility.
Without seeing the rules, I’d surmise because eligibility decisions are made as of the date of the championship game.
But the issue should have been discovered and dealt with long before the tournament started, not the night before. Very unfair to the rest of the team.
11:26 here. I agree with this. I am unsure how often the periodic checks are from the NIAA, but they should be more frequent and not right before the playoffs.
CCSD 1.4M Scam
few facts in the RJ snippet, but my first thought was how stupid are the people at CCSD who approved the payments?
Intelligence has never been a core part of the CCSD brand.
Perhaps you are new to town.
Only 48% of CCSD graduating seniors can read at grade level. Just saying…
Just give them ladders and they’ll be able to read at a higher level.
I mean… this same kind of scam has sucked in attorneys as well.
You’re expecting wire transfer instructions for a payment. You get wire transfer instructions for payment. The instructions appear to come from the same person you’ve been corresponding with. The wire gets sent. Only too late you learn that your account was hacked, and you were the subject of a Man in the Middle attack – the hacker waited patiently until they could insert the instructions.
This is why I require and advise all of my corporate clients to place a writing at the bottom of their instructions, and in the body in BOLD and LARGER font that the person sending the wire MUST verbally validate the wiring instructions and that we are not responsible for them using bad information that is NOT verbally verified over the phone.
I do the exact same thing. After a client lost about $20k wiring funds to a title company, as a precaution I try to be overly annoying about not wiring me any funds whatsoever until you speak to me on the phone.
11:42, you should start verbal auths for wire transfers
Sorry, meant the verbal auths comment for OP
My payor clients now require a verbal. This is something new they’ve started over the past year or two.
11:42 here. That’s not an issue for me, since I’ve always required verbal confirmation before the few wires I send. But it was an issue for a Florida attorney: https://wsvn.com/news/help-me-howard/150000-wire-disappeared/
