Big Daddy: Force? A few messages ago I was stating that according to my interpretation of the rules that partnerships (which you describe when you say "approached by Northside" -- see the dictionary definition I posted earlier) were legal between clubs in other states. I didn't see any problems until your posts and Nastradamus's posts; then I understood the parallel. I sure didn't force it; it hit me like a blinding flash of the obvious.
By the way -- did you notice how NECSA complained about coaches being hired and the like and the SCYSA ignored it? Do you want to know why? Because the hiring of coaches at any point in the year is completely legal and protected under SC employment law in the absence of employment contracts -- so creating out of whole cloth a rule about that wasn't possible even though if you note the issue is never mentioned in any SCYSA bylaw, code of ethics, or rule. But let's go further into the "ethical realm" -- the two coaches in the original announcement both resigned and then asked CESA for jobs. How do I know? Because I heard that they both testified, either in written or verbal form, to the SCYSA to just that fact.
In addition, CESA never advertised in local papers.
Bottom line: Wow! What grounds for an appeal/grievance (if an appeal or grievance is possible.)
