Guest Tiger03lb Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 So if the 4 students that are being investigated are declared ineligible. What happens from there? I know the students won't get to play but will they have to fall back until next year? Or go back to where they were prior? What happens with the games already played with the team? Will the team have to forfeit those games? Also, would any punishment be handed down if there was any questionable paperwork to those students? I'm not trying to stir the pot, just asking.

If they are declared ineligible, pretty sure they become eligible no matter what the following year.

Coach Rab Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Here’s another thought. Briles may not have recruited these kids. His name and legacy speak volumes without him saying a word. Who’s to say these kids didn’t just move in to play for this guy and get the best out of their athletic career? Just a thought. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I can say with 100% honesty that at least one of them moved there without a single thought about Briles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re 100% correct. But the underlying issue would be that they moved for athletic purposes and that’s not legal by UIL standards. My biggest question is why wait until week 4?

What constitutes "athletic purposes"? Who determines whether true or false that was the motive? Seems like a gray area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bock Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Question Did a DEC meeting occur before season started as is standard in most districts? (Where the Supt's in the district review PAPF's & decided the kids were eligible) if yes decision was made then what has changed other than Capt Obvious to have another meeting? If a no decision was made in august then why are they playing now? my two pennies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headhunter02 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Honestly if Briles isn't there I don't think this would be brought up. On the bright side at least this wasn't brought up after district play has started if they are ruled ineligible and were forced to forfeit district games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But...if I was the HC and knowing all the publicity surrounding me and knowing that every move I made would be looked at under a microscope, I would have been very cautious regarding any transfers just because of allegations just like this. At the end of the day this is really a distraction for the kids and community of MV and it’s really unfortunate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H3llR4z0r Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Some of y'all sound ridiculous when you say "If Briles wasn't here, this wouldn't be happening." These happen all the time. What may actually be different, is it being headline news. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6922 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Many of the "successful" football programs in East TX have kids move in (defined very loosely) every year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
