Pure sour grapes by somebody not happy with mt Vernon being 5-0.The Ramseys that brought Briles there are all lawyers. They will figure it out. They should sue Deadspin and the writer for slander.

Yes, Briles has such a stellar reputation. He has been a known rule stretcher at every level.
I know all schools recruit, but most can cover there behind.

They can sue Deadspin for slander all they want, but there was nothing slanderous in that post. Everything was cited and it was an aggregation blog post. I don’t think you can sue over the tone of a blog post.

You can’t move for athletic purposes in Texas. Somewhere, somehow...this family’s reason for leaving their near million dollar home in Colorado to live in a camper in a RV in Mt. Vernon has been discredited. One of the parents isn’t even wildling, and the other parent is a sibling to the lady filming a documentary on Coach Briles. He, the dad of the brothers, is a former Baylor standout. He is also the figure in question that is “supposedly” coaching and not employed by the school. You can’t volunteer coach and not be employed by the school.

UIL ruled no games forfeited this afternoon.....they were ruled ineligible from today forward pending an appeal to the executive committee at state office.

Personally, if you move a kid to that district, that should be all you have to do. How can a state office restrict a kid from going to school and playing sports where he wants to live and play? Seems crazy to me. Always has.

That has to be one of the stupidest rules. If I had a son who was talented and played in a town like marble falls that absolutely sucks and my career afford the ability to move to a better program I would do it in a heart beat. As long as the family moves and the kids is enrolled then I don't see the big issue.

I agree. Making kids sit out a year if a family wants to move to an entirely new district for the sole purpose of their kid playing a sport is stupid.

All liberals ,including the 2 that replied on here want every ethnicity vto be able to do anything they want and give everyone a second chance till they don't agree with something. Then they want to quote moral values. Its 2nd chances and benefit of the doubt only to who they decide.

Really??

You don't have the fact exactly right. The guy the brothers are living with is their uncle and he is also the Baylor player that played for Briles. He is also the voluntary coach.

Go Briles. I could actually care less except for the fact that apparently he is clear according to the evening news. Seems everyone had him convicted before knowing the facts. He's got more money than he ever needs from the Baylor settlement. Just wants to coach and have something to do. The Mt. Vernon folks are happy to have a winning football team. If A&M doesn't get their act together, he may be here soon!!! Just kidding.

Doesnt make it right.

There was at least one family that moved to Allen from California so their son could play for a world class coach and a world class stadium. Happens all over the country. If you live in Podunk, Ms and have a son that's 6'-4 and can throw a football 80 yards in the air you do what you gotta do. I don't see the problem. Art Briles hasn't done anything that 100's of other coaches haven't done, he just gets caught. As far as Baylor goes, it's hard to parent 19-20 year old studs especially when they're not living with you. Those boys parents have some responsibility too.

I look at it like this: if a family is willing to move to another district, state or halfway across the country, to give their kid a better chance, the kid should be allowed to play. That’s what this country was founded on, for crying out loud.

But if a family will uproot it’s life for their kid to play football, or get a better education, so be it. It’s just football.

Can someone give me a good reason why they shouldn’t be allowed to play?
