When will a decision be made? Because we was told all board meeting usually can only happen on Wednesday. This decision is big! Because Muskogee 6th grade had already made plans to not play in the INFC next year. If the INFC is willing to just chop this up admit they made mistakes with handling things and allow things to go back the way they was with Muskogee keeping wins, I know we would be willing to sign back up next season. But as of right now I don’t think Muskogee will have a 7th grade team in this league.

I do agree that 6A schools should have no need for recruiting terroritries outside of their school district, but if that is the case then it would be hard to have teams in every grade every year because of all the other leagues. I mean take Muskogee for instance, they have another team playing in another league which isn’t part of the Muskogee Football Organization in the INFC So they have no control on rules or forcing kids to play in INFC so those recruiting grounds in my opinion should be expanded. I know Catoosa has had to apply for recruiting grounds in the past and pull from other school not in the INFC, but are local to us like Inola. Those years really helped us bring together some teams and they weren’t all star teams by any means. The recruiting terroritories actually help the smaller schools.

I think everyone needs to be educated better on what is allowed in recruiting and what isn’t. Sometimes it’s not just for star athletes. Sometimes it’s just to get a team together. A great example was this year Catoosa and Verdigris 6th Grade almost had to combine teams because both were really low on numbers and yes we would have got the right “paperwork” together to make it legit, but both teams found just enough kids in their school to form a team and decided not to, but it could have easily went the other direction and both teams ended with 9 kids and we can’t play our kids up because after 6th Grade is school ball so we would have had to sit out this year if we wouldn’t have been able to combine in that situation.

If the kid lived in TYAA recruiting grounds and started with them then after the season started he moved to Jenks then TYAA should not be forced to forfeit their games. They did nothing wrong in that instance, but like I said I don’t know he whole story. This isn’t the first time this has happened to CURTDOGG, his TYAA Red team in 6th Grade had to forfeit 3-4 games because of a kid going to another school while playing for him so I’m sure he got everything worked out before hand so he didn’t have to deal with that situation again. At least I would think so.

Well coming from a great source Tyaa will win the protest everything seem to be legit.

Somebody needs to watch The Mighty Ducks.

Intent shouldn’t play a part in this stuff.  If a team or club has a player/players that doesn’t conform to the leagues rules without a release, then punishment should be levied.

my drivers liscense expires and I forget to renew it and get pulled over by a cop....doesn’t matter my intent, I’m getting a ticket.

I’m with @league on this one, intent is easy to manipulate.

@league, I would say if you enrolled him in Muskogee school then after season starts your wife lets you back in the house I think he should still be able to play with Muskogee. Bottom line from the evidence that I've seen 1st hand,  TYAA will undoubtedly win this protest.  Jenks Lost that churchs money on this one. But hey 1 outta two aint bad.

Yeah, but if you don’t have your insurance verification in your car and you get a ticket for no insurance, it gets dismissed if you come in and show you have insurance. This “rules must be followed” crap is not universally true in every circumstance. This is youth football. It’s not life and death. Although you could argue that it could be depending on the kids involved. Let’s say a kid, through no fault of his own, gets caught up in some Bs involving adults. He can’t play again, then instead of being at practice he’s out getting into trouble, and then he’s in a life of crime.  One day, as he’s serving 20 to life, an A&E film crew comes to his penitentiary and asks “Where did it all go wrong?” He reflects a moment and finally says, “Some jackass youth coach 10 years ago thought he would coddle his kid a little more by filing a football protest, and nobody gave me the benefit of the doubt, and here I am.” That May sound far fetched but is it really? Good job fellas.
