Since becoming aware of the oversight, ALA has submitted a full report of the incident to the AIA and has instituted a comprehensive set of procedural updates to ensure this type of misunderstanding does not occur in the future.

aZjimbo Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 I wonder what roll this kid played on both teams? Obviously it seems like an honest mistake as the program admitted the mistake. So many new schools and constant shuffling of schools to different divisions. I know one school moving down from 6A to 5 A next year. Another had its largest freshmen class even and has closed open enrollment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bormio Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 So he was an exchange student? Heck, illegals come every day and everything is supposed to be open to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StingMan44 Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 Bormio, read the damn article. It wasnt that he was from Canada, it was the fact he HAD ALREADY GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL in Canada, therefore he doesn’t/shouldn’t have eligibility left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
