Possible Bama, but more than likely the info between ad and rivals. Possible oops.



This entire thread is a clusterfrick because the original post is about as clear as mud. Heck, capitalizing "AD" and "Rivals" would have helped.

The OP didn't read.

He made the worst thread I've tried to read in a long time.

He then got all pissy when someone called him/her out on it.

O well. This board has been crazy today anyway.

I have no clue about what's going on with anything in this thread. I'm completely out of the loop.

It's not the NCAA investing. It's the school investing the employee (Faucheaux)

The statute reads, “Any complaint and any material relating to the investigation of a complaint against an employee shall be confidential and exempt from the provisions of s. 119.07(1) until the conclusion of the preliminary investigation or until such time as the preliminary investigation ceases to be active.”

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) prohibits educators from releasing any information regarding a student’s education record.

So the school official that posted on Rivals about the kid and his grade issues, is in trouble?

FERPA violations really have no teeth as far as any recourse is concerned.

Are you saying an athletic director, coach, or teacher can discuss a high school student's grades and not be held liable? I believe they could lose their jobs if that were to happen.

Not at all. Someone suggested that the kid could sue the AD/school or both for this but that is not the case. The AD could be fired. The school could lose federal funds (if they get any) if violations are proven. I am just saying the kid has no recourse against the school.

There is no private right of action for FERPA violations. But they can get in trouble with the feds for violating it. Which means they have to police it and prevent it. Including investigating and disciplining employees who violate it.

On the other hand, while he couldn't sue directly under FERPA, he could possibly sue under other claims in state court (invasion of privacy maybe) and help show the wrongfulness of the act by showing that it violated FERPA.

In the thread referenced a couple of pages back, he actually posted Trent Richardson's ACT scores while Trent was still in high school. How has this guy not gotten fired yet? The first day of inservice every year we have to sit through a session on FERPA, sign a statement acknowledging that we understand it and will abide by it, and are told that violation of it is grounds for dismissal. How has this clown not gotten fired yet?

The kid most definitely has recourse against the school if it can be shown that the school has ignored this moron's past FERPA violations. This kid is not the first whose FERPA rights he has violated...he has a history going back a few years...at least to Richardson.

If someone can sue McDonalds for serving coffee that's too hot then sure, anyone can sue anyone. But there is no avenue through FERPA directly that allows the student to sue the school or teacher for violations. That's all I am saying. I thought Richardson was from Mobile. Richardson went to this guy's school?

That McD's coffee lawsuit wasn't as bogus as most people think. There's a very good documentary about tort reform called "Hot Coffee" that does a good job exposing some of the misconceptions.

There was a copy cat suit around here a few years ago. It was bogus.....
