Why does the KHSAA even bother going through the motions???

That's a good question Granny!! I ask the same question all the time about why does KHSAA only target Eastern Ky schools when it comes to recruiting and basketball. Don't get me wrong, I know a lot of recruiting goes on in EKY but its for sure not the only place in this state that it happens. If you read my previous post you will see that every word on that post is true. I've said this for years about KHSAA, they only enforce the rules on high caliber players and teams from Eastern Ky. For example: Perry Central had a kid that was playing varsity Bball a few years ago. He played 3/4 varsity games w/ PCC and was unhappy w/ playing time so he transfers. Kid was eligible in 2 weeks and parents didn't move. Actually, the kids parent was and still is a teacher in the Perry County school system. How does that happen? IMO, it happened only because the kid wasn't a high profile player. No other explanation that I could get from anyone else. Same thing I mentioned in my previous post about June Buchanan School. They are allowed to have foreign exchange kids w/ certain Visa's because they are a private school but the kids weren't eligible to play at Hazard High School and yet JBS is a member of the KHSAA. So that IMO, is an unfair playing field because they can openly recruit w/out any violations being brought against them because they are a private school. Nothing will be said about this until JBS starts WINNING. It seems like high profile players and teams winning games gets the attention of the KHSAA quicker than anything else.

I truly think the KHSAA has their hands full w/ Cordia and I believe Cordia will take this as far as it needs to go as long as Ms. W can continue to fund it. I truly believe Cordia will win this. I believe the days of KHSAA picking and choosing the schools they want to penalize is gonna come to an end. I don't think KHSAA is a wicked organization that is trying to keep kids from playing sports but I do think the rules need to be black and white. I know of 2 schools in the 14th region that are on probation because of kids that played at their schools 2/3 years ago but the probation just came down as of this year. I want to add that NO wrong doing was found but the circumstances surrounding the precious players seemed "FISHY". Really KHSAA. Gotta do better than that IMO!
