The state is running the school and the state want let them change the board policy so when you look at it like that it is a KED and KHSAA decision. Trust me on this, I know for a fact it is up to the state to let them play or not. I don't care what has been printed in the Jackson news papers, what I just wrote is correct.

Bottom line the KHSAA is scared of this type of team popping up in other places and taking some of the limelight away from KHSAA sanctioned activities.

The KHSAA can NOT stop them from playing.

What they can do is stop them from playing KHSAA schools. In that regard, 22-Foot Academy is no different from another EKY school (Wesley Christian).

Does anybody have any PROOF (email, fax, letter, whatever) that the KHSAA stepped in and told 22FA where it can/cannot play/practice?

I'm not sure what a meeting with the KHSAA would provide. It would be no different than Oak Hill trying to meet with the Virginia association.

They're not members. They have no intention of becoming members. They blatantly recruit (this is apples and aardvarks compared to Louisville ... I can't remember the last time Ballard got three 6-foot-6 kids from out of state ... can't remember the last time Trinity/X got multiple quality Europeans at the same time).

If they want to become an equivalent of Oak Hill (coached by a KY native), Findley Prep, Hargraves (coached by a KY native) and be able to get the best of the best and play on ESPN and practice more than 4 hours a day ... more power to them! Good luck.

But if they think the KHSAA is going to give them ANY help ... ain't happening. They're not owed any help. They don't deserve any help.

As far as their facilities, if the local school (i.e. school board, school itself, superintendent) has a rule that FOR-PROFIT groups are forbidden from using school-owned facilities, then 22FA is out of luck. They're clearly a for-profit group.
