I hope they make a movie about this one day so the world will see what a bunch of idiots run the UIL.

This is a tough case for the UIL...unfortunately for the kid there wasn't a lot of paperwork from Nigeria...so there wasn't enough information to really make an educated decision...over-age waivers are only granted on very limited cases

We should err in the benefit of the student in these situations

Unfortunately in today's world with litigation, 25 year olds posing as 18 year olds to play sports etc...its a tough situation....as soon as you err on the side of the student and something bad happens guess who ends up in court fighting a lawsuit?? lol
