Can someone give me the backstory as to why this kid is suspended?

Robison played his first three years of high school at Vandebilt Catholic in Houma. He was a good enough quarterback to draw college interest.
Vandebilt Catholic also employed Robison's dad, Drew Robison, as boys’ basketball coach and assistant football coach, but Robison's contract was not renewed last spring.
Drew Robison and his family left Houma to move to Luling, outside New Orleans, where employment opportunities are greater. Andrew Robison was going to transfer to Hahnville and play his senior season for the Tigers. For Robison to be eligible to play, Vandebilt Catholic had to agree to release him.
Before this could happen, Robison was one of 60 seniors asked to pose for the cover of Louisiana Football Magazine. He originally wanted to wear his old Vandebilt Catholic jersey, but he told the executive committee during his appeal last week that VC football coach Jeremy Atwell denied the request.
A friend on the Hahnville football team, with the permission of Hahnville head coach Nick Saltaformaggio, got Robison a Tiger jersey to wear for the photo. However, this action was against LHSAA rules since Robison had yet to enroll at Hahnville and Vandebilt Catholic had yet to release him.
The week of the jamborees, the LHSAA suspended Saltaformaggio four games and fined him $2,500. As for Robison, Bonine and the LHSAA ruled him ineligible for the season.
Last week, Hahnville's appeal of Robison's ineligibility and Saltaformaggio's suspension went before the executive committee. Even though Vandebilt Catholic's president and principal each said stripping Robison's of his senior season of eligibility was excessive, the committee essentially rubber-stamped Bonine's decision.
Talk about an "honest human error." All Robison wanted was a jersey to wear for a magazine photo shoot. Was it a mistake to wear one of the school you are transferring to before the transfer has been signed off by all interested parties? Yes. Was it worth denying him the opportunity to play his senior season? Apparently so, according to the LHSAA.
Once upon a time, the LHSAA looked out for its student-athletes. That appears to no longer be the case. Robison and his family have done nothing wrong, but they are the ones penalized for an “honest” mistake made by a teenager.
After the initial ruling, Bonine was quoted as saying he "went by the book" and "followed the rules set forth by member principals."

He was the starting QB at Vanderbilt Catholic in Houma for three years. In May of this year he announces that he's going to play his senior year at Hahnville. Coach at Vandy is mad, claims recruiting violations and files complaint.

yeah, Dad is a basketball coach and gets fired from school. Dad gets salty and gets his son to leave them for his senior year. Dad shops him around and they find HHS. So the dad and son rent an apartment near HHS so the dad can be an assistant coach and the kid can go to HHS. LHSAA rule is that your sole residence has to be in district to be immediately eligible. Their house in Houma as been "on sale" for a while and no one wants to buy it. Coincidentally, the mom and younger brother still live in the house and the younger brother goes to the elementary that feeds to the original high school. I guess it would be okay to pull the younger brother out of school mid-year if they sell the house. Because of this the LHSAA says he has to sit out a year. If he would have went to the local public school, he would have been eligible.

IMO if a child has to transfer from a private school to a public school due to loss of income the rule should NOT apply.

I heard the dad was the real issue. Like the article above states, the original school never intended to get the kid completely ineligible, just informed when they were blatantly breaking rules (i.e. screw you, I'm taking my star player son and going find a school that likes us more). But when the dad started with his antics, they weren't having it. I just heard this in passing at a get together where a few people are tied into high school and collegiate sports in the area and know a lot of the coaches.

I've never heard of such a rule. Do you have some backup for that? I'm Catholic.
If you can't sign, is it okay to urge others to sin?
If true, there are Catholics sinning by signing petitions.

It is if you use a proxy server to hide your true IP address. God gets pretty confused when it comes to IT stuff, so he can't figure it out.

I propose we make them lose a year of enjoyment by not getting to watch their son play a sport. This can be accomplished by making the son ineligible.
Boom problem solved. Everyone can go home now.

Hahnville QB Andrew Robison obtains court order to play, but large hurdle still remains
quote:
A local court issued a temporary restraining order Thursday (Sept. 20) against the Louisiana High School Athletic Association in the case of suspended Hahnville quarterback Andrew Robison that could allow the senior to play immediately, but one large hurdle remains before he can suit up and take the field.
Neither Hahnville High School, its football coach, Nick Saltaformaggio nor the St. Charles Parish school system was willing to talk about the injunction from the 29th Judicial Court of Louisiana that states the LHSAA is "prohibited from enforcing all penalties" against Robison until at least a hearing can be heard Wednesday (Sept. 26).

Why should we support something that has rules in place? Rules exist for a reason, you grant this guy an exception, where does it stop?
The kid's dad lost his job and it was decided at the end of last school year that he would not return to Vanderbilt Catholic. Instead he would go to Hansville. VC offered to hire the kid's dad as an assistant coach which would allow him to attend VC free. The offer was refused. It is against the rules to offer a job to someone for the sole purpose of benefiting athletically.
Evidently the HC at VC was doing everything he could to get the kid to come back for his senior year. Once it became clear that the kid wasn't going to return for his senior year, they reported it as if he was being recruited.
When the LHSAA initially ruled that he couldn't play, VC released a statement saying they thought the penalty was too harsh.
An appeal was made and it wasn't overturned.
Catholic/private schools do this all the time. Well, they wait until "underprivileged" kids are going to high school and allow them to attend, starting their 9th grade year, tuition free, but of course they are just doing the lord's work by providing underprivileged kids with a better opportunity, but somehow they all end up being an asset to the school's athletes.

Exactly, the kid is being punished for a situation that no one had control of.
