Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 3139318, member: 6927"] This is not accurate, at least not according to anything I've read. From the UIL eligibility standards ([URL='https://www.uiltexas.org/policy/eligibility']Eligibility Standards — University Interscholastic League (UIL)[/URL]): [SIZE=6][B]Eligibility for Athletic Contests[/B][/SIZE] [LIST] [*]meet all the requirements above, [*]are less than 19 years old on September 1 preceding the contest or have been granted eligibility based on a disability that delayed their education by at least one year, [*]live with their parents inside the school district attendance zone their first year of attendance (see your school administrator for exceptions), [*][B]have not moved or changed schools for athletic purposes, [/B] [*]have not violated the athletic amateur rule, and [*]were eligible according to the fifteen day rule and the residence rule prior to district certification [/LIST] Gusters was ruled ineligible because she was deemed to have violated the provision on changing schools for athletic purposes. I think the waters got muddied in the Gusters case because from her hearings emerged allegations of recruiting by the Duncanville coach, but that was the school Gusters was moving from, not to.
