Never say Never

Have received only one comment.

• "HR has never broken any rules"
• lots of pointing the finger at this and that and beating around the bush
• "other teams have brought in foreign coaches or have a player from South Africa"
  
• we get no respect...
• "the school district caved in under the pressure"
  
• But no specific answers to any of the questions
• we shall therefore continue, that these assumptions are accurate
• no response to why having two import players on the field at anyone time is unfair
• the forum is public, open and we invite anyone in the know to respond point by point to the questions in previous posts.

It obviously is very very difficult for the HR faithful to wrap their minds around the fact that rules have been broken.

The Utah Board of Education did not cave in under pressure in 2005. It reviewed new information and responded based on principle, the law and what was best for the Utah tax payers. Thus their decision to not allow these young men to attend Utah public schools.

The Board's decision also clarified the mystery around visas and the paying of tuition.

• No tuition was payed for years
• Most of the visas were only visitors visas and not the required J1 exchange student visas.

You can try to spin this many different ways but at the end of the day the facts remain the same.

An independent third party, The Utah Board of Education, looked at this situation and shut the practice down.

Never say Never.
