re: Bro. Martin may be forced to forfeit 5 games due to academic eligibility questions

That would mean that every athlete at BM was not in compliance as they all had religion classes from the very beginning.
To the other poster, what would be Eddie Bonine's beef with the brothers? As far as I can tell, the schools talk a good ball game about being under the auspices of the brothers, but they seem to be simply faculty members. At least that's how it is at Brother Martin, one being a chaplain when my boys were there. Day-to-day administration and operations are entirely lay people.

I just want to know what exactly is a "credit recovery"?

Our Summer Credit Recovery program is not designed in the same manner as traditional Summer School programs, which can be less stringent academically in terms of replacing failing grades. Partially due to our long-standing interpretation of the academic eligibility rule, we adopted Credit Recovery over Summer School a number of years ago. If we used the traditional Summer School model combined with the LHSAA’s interpretation of the academic eligibility rule, both of these student-athletes would be academically eligible.
This paragraph is my favorite because it is the principal admitting that they screwed the kid over.

2 issues with your assessment:
1) I went to a catholic HS in Nola and played HS football years ago and not a single player on our team was even close to being academically ineligible (Probably why we were average af). Basically I am saying that BM probably hasn't had many , if any, players close to ineligibility so their method of calculation probably wasn't ever truly tested.
2) Have you ever been audited? One auditor might overlook something but the next year, if a new auditor is assigned, they might see the same thing and have issue with it.
I worked as an auditor for a bit and I went to a company that just didn't record property donations on their books at all. They said "The house was free so it doesn't have a cost to put on the books." The previous auditor bought that but I knew that he needed to record the value of the house as in kind revenue and a depreciable asset. Point is, just because one person lets you slide doesn't mean that you are any less at fault if the next person finds your mistake.

No it wouldn't. It would mean two elgible football players GPA wouldn't have met eligibility standards without including Religion. Take out Religion and their GPA fell below the threshold.

Holy crap that previous auditor was an idiot.
I bet the client even got mad at you for not letting them slide by with that.

Wasnt BroMart accused of illegally recruiting players a couple years ago or was that another catholic school?

The client was furious. I wanted to make him pull all his property donations from the past but the partner above me made me back off and I was only allowed to correct the current year. I disagreed but at the end of the day its the partner putting his name on the report so if he wanted to risk it, that was on him.
He eventually told me that the previous auditor was his neighbor and he'd known him since the guy was in diapers which makes me think he could put his foot down and get his way with that kid not wanting to piss off his neighbor.

As I understood it, and my son had to go for math a few summers, it's like a fifth "quarter" or grading period. So if you do well, it gets averaged with the four quarters of the school year to get the credit for the year.
A student in credit recovery, even it pulls his average way up, can only be given a C for the year if he goes to credit recovery.

I have a client who gets pissed off about stuff like this every single year and says "previous auditor let us do it" all the time too. Like I'm just going to let things that fly in the face of accounting principles and may even be illegal just slide because you used to pay a moron to audit your books.

Admitting to years of cheating and not a single trophy to show for it. Brother Martin is even inept at cheating. At least Catholic cheated proficiently and had some trophies/titles stripped.
Bros of the Sacred Heart schools may be the most prolific cheating affiliation in LA high school athletics.

Correct... Bonis was at a scheduled football camp on the North Shore. All the other coaches were pissed that he was there and they felt like he was there to recruit players and they ratted him out.
BM had to pay a $1K fine...

I wouldn't wish the last four or five years of Mark Bonis' life on anyone.

These people blow my mind. Its like they think we make the rules up and have the authority to pick and choose who has to follow which rules. I have a buddy that I won't do taxes for anymore because of all the deductions he wants to (imo) falsely claim.

2) Have you ever been audited? One auditor might overlook something but the next year, if a new auditor is assigned, they might see the same thing and have issue with it.
This would be like a client hiring a CPA firm and they send out a manger to audit for 5 years, and that manager allows a certain revenue recognition for years without saying nothing, so the client plans everything, pays out bonuses, forecasts etc etc based on those accounting principles allowed by the CPA firm. Then the firm sends out a different manager and lets you know everything is fricked up and you are screwed the last 5 years
That’s on the CPA firm, AKA the LHSAA……
