But somehow the violations are being kept secret

Must be nice to have deep pockets.

This is BS

“Catholic High School in Baton Rouge has been sanctioned following a recruiting investigation by the Louisiana High School Athletic Association (LHSAA).

Catholic High won the 2020 State Division I championship in football.

In a vast departure from prior practices, the LHSAA refuses to publicly discuss the sanctions it has levied against the affluent private school.

In the past, the LHSAA held news conferences to discuss sanctions against other area football programs including Southern Lab and McKinley High School.“

The racial divide in LHSAA is pretty pathetic

In particular, the LHSAA focused on alleged improper recruiting of players by the school.

Documents provided by a source to WAFB-TV show instances of Catholic High staff being instructed to scout specific middle school teams and youth organizations for potential recruits
.

I’m pretty sure every coach in the LHSAA knows where to find the athletes they want in their program, whether or not it’s technically legal.

The sticklers for the “rules” are not the teams you see playing in December

This is stupid. Almost every high school that cares about trying to win does this.

They literally will sit in the stands and stand on the sidelines in their school polos.

Sure if you would say getting the occasional blue chip is cheating. But the majority of the kids playing were always from the feeder schools. It wasn’t ramped up until a couple of years ago

That part was probably leaked on purpose as the real violations are much more significant

Bonine had a son that went to Catholic. This is a huge conflict of interest here

After the whole Guice story with CHS and then LSU, this would be a massacre.

But $$$$$$ keeps stuff quiet…

but yet nothing is actually happening as far as sanctions

The article mentioned no postseason ban and Catholic said they agreed to them

I’m thinking an undisclosed fine

And yet they are in the same division as archbishop Shaw that has 420 kids in the school and stopped recruiting after the tierney days

Is this related to that big thread we had on here about a month or 2 ago? And nothing was released?
