Ind. Law - More on "Some fear charter schools may become sports powers"
Updating this ILB entry from Oct. 23rd which quoted an Indianapolis Star story headlined "IHSAA rules that Butler recruit Chrishawn Hopkins is ineligible for senior season at Herron: Organization says Butler recruit transferred for athletic reasons; senior must wait 365 days after last game at Manual", the Star's Kyle Neddenriep reports this afternoon:
Chrishawn Hopkins will play his senior season of high school basketball after all.
The 6-1 Butler University recruit has transferred back to Manual High School and will be granted full athletic eligibility, Indiana High School Athletic Association commissioner Blake Ress said.Hopkins had transferred to Herron, a Downtown charter school before his senior year, but was his transfer was deemed to be for athletic reasons by the IHSAA, making him ineligible for 365 days since his last game at Manual as a junior.
“We try not to make them ineligible everywhere,” Ress said. “So he had the option to [go] back to Manuel, where we thought he really belonged, and regain eligibility. There had been a hearing scheduled for an appeal, but I guess they decided against it.”
