I just want to set the record straight about Richard chapman as a jr putting his senior year in jeopardy. That is a myth that people do not know. He has been ruled in elidigible by the khsaa his dad is taking his case before judicial review in Franklin circuit court. These cases can only be taken to either knott circuit court ( which would never happen), fayette co, or Franklin co. If Franklin co rules him elidigible to play the khsaa can take it to the court of appeals to try to get it reversed. If they are denied the kid is elidigible to play until he gradguates the khsaa has no further recourse. If he is ruled elidigible and plays the rest of this season and the khsaa dosen't get the cased heard until after the season or it is heard before the tournament and he is ruled inelidigible by the court of appeals there is a rule in place ( a khsaa rule at that) that states if a player players under judicial review(ie:injunction) and is later overturned that the student athlete or the school can not be held accountable for violation of any rules. So you see he has nothing to loose either.

If he plays under the injuction this season an it's overturned after the season he will lose his senior year from what I understand. I think the key is that the school cannot be held accountable meaning the KHSAA cannot come after the school itself for wins/losses while the athlete is playing under the injucntion. this was a rule that changed a couple of years ago. i think thats why the school doesnt pay for the attorney for the athlete in question. I maybe wrong but I remember the Jaysean Paige deal and this was kinda the same thing. If what your saying is correct the eligibility process is completely useless. No need to wait on KHSAA slow decision making, just play the athlete and don't worry about anything.
