Someone clearly knows nothing about Newman.

Perhaps I’m in the minority here, but who honestly cares. If a highschool wants to put athletics on pedestal to the point they are plugging in recruits, that’s a decision a school can make.
In theory I completely agree. And if enough others agree, they can vote to change the rules. Until then, these are the rules that the LHSAA governs by, and if you break them, there are consequences, like forfeiting games and suspending coaches.

Newman didn’t. Randy and his ego did though.

Actually I am hearing the school did not have much knowledge of what was going on with basketball.
So lack of institutional control is their defense?!?!

It’s a talking point. Do LHSAA rules and Louisiana culture impede the development of “national” high school athletic programs? Is it hurting our kids in comparison to other states? It seems like most of the “national” programs popping up in LA have been dinged one way or another
I’m not against national programs, but they should not be competing for LHSAA championships.
Or the LHSAA can start an “open” division where recruiting, immediate transfers, etc is allowed

No conniving supporters operating outside of the schools control

I’m in favor of this common sense approach. Cut and paste from the CIF.

Shame on you.

Impossible that the school “didn’t know”. Administration knows what goes on at their school, they just chose to turn a blind eye. They deserve everything they get and if the LHSAA digs deep enough there’s other sports not playing by the rules also.

It's very possible. Considering the following and I am by no means saying this is what Newman did - but it is what another school did...
1.If a parent pays there tuition and the money was given to them by someone else or the actually qualified for financial aid through the proper channels - all good.
2. If a parent turns in proper paper work noting where they live - schools are not required to go to the home and determine who lives there or owns the property or that it's even a house.
3. any thing that happens on a summer league or non school team - is not the schools business.
BTW this has happened at both public and private schools. Much easier to pull off in hoops because it takes fewer kids.
The reference to tim byrd but a public school in the 90s had a parent do some outlandish stuff(all legal) to make it to the schools only 2 finals.
From what I understand upon learning some things the school went to the LHSAA right away. I wish the LHSAA would go back to publicly reporting details of violations.

Come on man…you’re a smart guy. Do you really believe the administration at Newman had no clue the basketball team was up to shady shite. No way anyone can ever make me believe that. High quality school officials are all over EVERYTHING that is going on at their schools.

You'd be surprised at how easy schools or school systems can be fooled. I am going by what people associated with the school and people with schools that picked up transfers and they are pretty much putting this all on 3-4 people.
The tell tale will be is if there is turnover in the athletic administration which is what happens any time significant LHSAA sanctions are handed out. Now if any athletic admin folks leave there for better jobs - that also paints a picture.
Unlike the paper work lapses that affected some recent noteworthy sanctions that's all on the school.
The window to this got opened wide with the "hazing"
I'll see someone high on their totem pole at an event this week - I'm curious to what he'll have to say.

Can Newman release the report if they choose ? or is that prohibited by the LHSAA ?

Schools can release whatever they want. LHSAA doesn’t do it to protect the schools privacy.

And when they did release them students’ names were redacted… that was acceptable

If players are named I think FERPA comes into play. May have to be careful what they release. Not sure how those LHSAA investigative reports read.
