Actually the truth is that when a transfer comes to Belfry/Pikeville these schools tend to dots their i's and cross their t's to assure the move is legit and completed 100%. The problem is that some schools(PC included) feel that the initial investigation is all they have to pass to deem these student athletes eligible. If a kid makes a legit move, is ruled eligible then later on decides that the coast is clear and moves back to his/her original residence the fault then lies with the parents/coaching staff/administration not on an "angry" "jealous" parent who turns them in. The PC program may have to take their lumps with the outcome of this along with the powers that be, including an overzealous superintendent who turned a deaf ear to the possibililty of these infractions. I know for a fact that his main goal was to beat Belfry in EVERY sport along with being the kings of the county but his means to accomplish this may have caused a ton of unnecessary hurt for a multitude of young kids who are going to be punished because of adults with big egos. Let me also say that the "recruiting" issues aren't the only issues that will come back to bite PC athletics. Many on here are in the know when it comes to the assortment of infractions that are being investigated at PC and the feeling Im getting is it will get a lot worse before it gets better.

OUTSTANDING post! I've heard many of the things you put in this post before but won't post hearsay.... I've listened to many and said nothing! LOL.... Sometimes, that is the best way to learn a lot and keep yourself informed! :Thumbs:
