Facebook posts not immune from scrutiny

Transfers from one district to another face plenty of scrutiny in Oklahoma. The Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association sends checkers  to make sure moves are bonafide, parents and schools have to fill out forms and, staff (or the OSSAA’s Board of Directors on appeal) must find the transfer to meet certain criteria.

In Tennessee, a pair of offensive linemen were ruled eligible after presumably moving from Henry County to Perry County. But their mother’s post on Facebook made it clear that the pair had not fully moved. The Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association found out about it and Perry County was forced to vacate three wins for playing the ineligible players.
