I wasn’t familiar with what they were found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt for. I did know they hired coaches from other schools and a slew of the players for the former team came over. Not sure if that’s illegal or not. If there was evidence of someone who works for TFA coercing a child to transfer then that’s on them. But kids who had nothing to do with it shouldn’t suffer. Suspend the guilty adults for 2 years from coaching in Florida. Coaching of any kind. 2 years. And allow the kids who didn’t do anything wrong still get a chance that the rest of the kids in the state get to do. 

So they get punished for doing something and the only way to remedy the situation and have a chance of competing for a championship they need to (checks notes) do the exact same thing that got them punished in the first place!!!!! 

If those teenagers truly want the ability to compete for a state title, they can simply transfer to another school.  Apparently that's a thing now. 

By the way, those "Teenagers" and their parents if they had common sense would see the light and transfer out to play for another local school that can participate for a FHSAA title leaving TFA with that national schedule and the humiliation they deserve. 

They were found guilty of recruiting players plus providing impermissible benefits during the past season and fined $36K, two-year suspension for the HC and two-year suspension in playoff competition.   Get real Nolebull, both the players and coaches knew exactly the rule breaking they were engaged in and both groups should pay the price.  Spare me the pity for the "Teenagers" who have parents that should also know better.  They got what they deserved and happy their appeal fell on deaf ears.   You and I could have a different opinion of what constitutes cheating but we don't count, only the opinion of the FHSAA which has ruled on the matter.
