Here we go again. Wow, how many times do I have to explain to people - the KHSAA has ZERO control of your sports. Let me repeat, the KHSAA dictates NOTHING.

Geeze, every 6 months, we get the bashers that jump all over the KHSAA like it is truly some ruling body. No people, the KHSAA is set-up EXACTLY like the NCAA, MLB, NFL, NBA, US Olympic Committee, blah, blah blah.

These organizations have been established by the TEAMS (Schools in this case) themselves.

Who does Julian Tackett answer to? Not you! Not your son or daughter! Not the Sponsors! And not damnsure not themselves. Who do they answer to? Who employ's them? Who dictates to them the rules that they communicate to the Public? Who? YOUR SCHOOL! Julian Tackett does not make one single decision - Your Athletic Director or your Superintendent makes the decision! There are committees for every aspect of High School sports. Who sits on those committees and decides the fate of little Johnny's football district - YOUR ATHLETIC DIRECTOR!

LOL, we do this so often, I can't believe that anyone still believes that all these organizations are true ruling bodies. No, they are truly a facade. You sure as hell do not want to here that the Athletic Director from your rival school was on the District Alignment committee when they just voted to change the student threshold dropping his school from 5A to 3A, and you to 6A! But don't worry, in two years, it may be your schools turn in the rotation to do the same!

To actually think that appeals are decided on by some foreign committee is ridiculous! If you do not like the decision made about a transfer, then call up your damn Athletic Director, because I guarantee you he knows about it, and just might have voted on it himself. Stop holding Santa Claus, the Bunny Rabbit, and Batman accountable, if you have a gripe, make sure YOUR school answers to YOU!

Because I am a coach, I do sit down with my ADand find out what is happening in the state! There should never be any surprises to you if you sit down and talk to someone from your school. Because trust me, they CAN know if they choose to. And if they tell you that they don'tor they were surprised on something, then they are telling you a bareface LIE!

Sorry people, the KHSAA holds no more authority and decision making than Deputy Dog!

Your post is misleading.

Maybe I should paraphrase Orwell and say that all athletic directors are equal but, in the eyes of the KHSAA, some are more equal than others.

To say that all schools and all ADs receive the same consideration from KHSAA is ridiculous. And, when an athlete or a school is punished, the decision is made by KHSAA employees and not by a poll of ADs and Superintendents.
