There have been several downloads of the memo from the Utah Board of Education attorney Carol Lear in 2005. Be sure to also download Ed Hughes USA Rugby report on Highland done in May of 2005.
Put these letters side by side and connect the dots. Remember that Ed's report was done a few days before nationals by telephone. He was given the phone numbers of the Granite School District and others to call in Utah.
Ed was told, on the phone, that the import players had paid their tuition at Olympus High School.
They did not pay any tuition because they were kicked out of Olympus High School for masquerading as pretend students, one month before nationals. See the letter, under downloads from the attorney at the State Board of Education.
The USA Rugby report also clearly establishes the fact that the import players were not in the country as exchange students.
...from Ed's report
"The first issue is that each of these young men is presently in the country
illegally. All of these men have overstayed their tourist visas and, upon
leaving the United States to return home, if they aren't deported first, these
boys/men will not be permitted to return. "
Here is the USA Rugby rule from 2005
f) No more than four non-resident (as defined in the National Club Championships section above) exchange students may play for a club.
WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENED???
