I have always wondered why this doesn't happen more - ineligible player plays anyway

Especially at the high school level.

Officials at a private Missouri high school suspended its football program, fired all the team’s coaches and forfeited its undefeated season after learning coaches had been using an ineligible player.

Cardinal Ritter junior running back Bill Jackson, who wore No. 4, was ineligible to play after being ejected from a 2018 championship game. However, Jackson, disguised as freshman “Marvin Burks,” wearing No. 24, played -- running for 109 yards, including a 56-yard touchdown in a recent 32-21 win.

Would have been better if he'd registered as Jack Billson

Covered in the MSB.

The administration can feign ignorance that the coaching staff did this but I find it doubtful they didn’t know something was up the second that kid made his first big run.

I mean, it would be terrible if Cole Tracy dressed up as Cade York this weekend.

Because it's easier to play stupid after the fact.
