Having said that I know of a kid that played varsity last season at a public school and is now playing varsity at a private school, did not sit. Not sure how they were able to get the waiver from LHSAA, but they did it.


Pretty sure the only way to do this "legitimately" is to meet the criteria for a bona fide move to a new residence into whatever attendance zone the private school is in

changing “select” and “nonselect” into “zoned” and “nonzoned”…


Isn't that the same thing? Any school that takes kids outside of their attendance zone is select and any school that only takes kids in their attendance zone is nonselect
Is it mostly lip syncing ? so many dates close to each other, don't see how any singer could pull it off

Any student that leaves the PMAC prior to tip-off will be exit scanned,


LOL.. how could they possibly enforce this... Are they going to monitor all exits and ask everyone who is leaving if they used a student ticket to get in ?... What would work is to make all the students scan their ID upon arrival and exit... but to just make the ones leaving early get exit scanned will not do anything, the students leaving early will just go out a different exit.

I hate Catholic because they have a different set of rules as everyone else.

Want to be “in district” is no problem, because you just need to be part of the diocese.

Let’s say there’s a kid that lives in Gonzales or Marepaus and goes to Catholic school for middle school. That kid is eligible immediately athletically at Catholic, but not at a school like Parkview.

It’s because of the “diocese”, which is bullshite.

So essentially, your eligibility is based on your religion.

frick that stupid shite.





Do you realize LHSAA changed that rule in 2023 ? Pretty sure it did not affect CHS much at all. Now it did hurt girls athletics and smaller team sports at smaller schools such as cross country, swimming, wrestling, tennis, and golf ... anyhow I have a sneaky suspicion you will have a new different reason to hate CHS.

Seems like threads are locked/anchored after a few weeks of inactivity. Would be great if the admins could unlock this one. Been a wild start to the league's regular season!


Something else is going on here.. strange.. BearTiger started this thread on the help board at Posted on 1/12/26 at 1:29 pm .. then there was a post on the actual thread on the MSB at Posted on 1/12/26 at 4:45 pm , so it looks like an admin unlocked it and then it got locked again...one of the best threads each year and pretty harmless, it never got off the rails

Have you checked what options are available when you try to do this online or in the Delta app? I usually find that a ton more options show up online for a change like this than a typical 20 minute delay




Thanks, I only travel a few times a year and normally not very far. I have never had to try and do this. I will look into it. Thanks.
Supposed to leave Sat 24th 130pm BTR to ATL, then 7p, ATL to Rome, Italy. Flying Delta, returning on the 31st

I can possibly leave a day earlier, but don't think we can figure out the work/vacation stuff to leave later and stay a week, would have to cut it short, which does not seem worth it at that point.

How strict are they on the origin airport ? I see a flight from MSY to JFK to FCO on Friday 1/23.

Any other options I am missing ?

Thanks

Last year they said Spring 2026. So at least a few more months.


Doesn't look like they have started any real construction yet. A perimeter fence was installed but from what I can see not much more. I assume its a permit or historical tax credit hold up.

I am all for it. Curry has rug pulled the Pels numerous times. I had tickets for the kids twice when he did it. I'd at least had some credits to go along with the kids' disappointment.
There is a lot more to the process.. but the foundation is production over potential.

quote:

Cignetti's player evaluation process is meticulous, multifaceted and time-tested, and he is in the middle of every phase. Unlike most Power 4 programs, Indiana doesn't have a massive personnel department. At Big Ten media days in July, Cignetti declared, "I'm the GM and head coach." He makes the final call on players, as he has ever since leaving Nick Saban's side at Alabama to lead his first college program at Division II Indiana University of Pennsylvania.

Anyone who has worked with Cignetti knows the phrase "production over potential," a mission statement for his evaluations. There are other Cignetti-isms in picking players, from football-specific traits to how they shake hands when you meet them.

There out of eligibility


Not sure anyone is out of eligibility with the amount of power the NCAA has at this point. Pretty sure everyone is a lawsuit away from being eligible.

My only assumption is if they are Illegal and hire a lawyer to get a judge (or some other authority) to declare them legal, then they are more than likely not a hardened criminal, so why not just move along and keep scooping up as many criminals as possible and not worry about the ones who are not criminals and can afford to hire an attorney ... disclaimer if they are actually criminals and the judges are overlooking it, I blame the judges as more than the lawyers

What colors players and coaches "bleed" is whichever school gives them the best opportunity.


And these days, opportunity and money are interchangeable, which is fine it is not the kids or the coaches faults honestly, at the end of the day the "fans" are the ones pumping money into college athletics
Saw an interview clip of Cignetti...stated he valued production over potential.
football players are not getting University money.. football brings in millions and millions and millions
