Tomorrow is the last day for the Administration to wrap up their investigation into the additional findings by the KHSAA and report it to them.  Since the parent meeting when the announced Bonner as the coach. Nothing else has been said. It’s been quite. A lot of questions at the meeting but Campbell didn’t give any specifics due to it still being investigated. Opinions on what might happen?
Guessing end game here is post season ban and recruits will have the opportunity to transfer and be immediately eligible at their district school.  They can also stay but not be able to play post season.
I am not sure about a post season ban. I am just guessing based on what penalties the KHSAA gave to Bowling Green. Bowling Green provided improper benefits to a player...housing. They were even able to keep their state title they won with that player.
I could be wrong, like I said just a guess.
I agree. I don’t see a post season ban or a suspension of players. The KHSAA didn’t even recommend the coach to be fired, only suspended for a month. My guess is the KHSAA is finished with their decisions. Reviewing the Bowling Green situation and results as a guide, and to now ban Ashland for post season and also maybe ban some players during season would be equivalent to sentencing someone to a year in jail for a speeding ticket while previously fining someone else $10. I don’t think the KHSAA will do that, nor will Ashland.

I believe what they are looking at is recruits that otherwise would not have been there.  There is a huge difference in BG and Ashland situation.  BG boiled down to an inadvertent violation of residency.  The Ashland recruiting scandal appears to have recruits that will be playing in the future.  The main goal it sounds is to eliminate this competitive edge by the recruits playing.  The only way to do that is a post season ban or make them ineligible.  Leaving options open for the kids they could stay at Ashland but choose not to play in the post season or they could transfer out with post season ban.  That definitely sounds like the most logical.
I don’t think that will happen. Ashland won’t go that route because it would be totally unfair. The coach is not coaching anymore, which I don’t agree with but it’s what it is. I wish they had taken the recommendation of the KHSAA and gone with a one month suspension for coach but they didn’t and that’s their prerogative. Or more accurately, the superintendent’s prerogative. 
 They’re not going to penalize kids for simply transferring. Just because someone transfers does not make them a “recruit” by association. They won’t make a decision just based on whether they ‘might’ have been recruited or they ‘could’ have been recruited, because most transfers are generated by parents and kids themselves. That doesn’t mean they were recruited. 

A few of you posters on here are a bit much. You’ve got your ounce of flesh. Mays is gone. He’s no longer in your way or a hindrance to you. But you fellows won’t let it go. You want to get a man down and then grind your heels into his body. He’s no longer coaching, his wife is battling cancer, and he has two kids that have grown to love the Ashland community and play sports for Ashland, and this is emotional and difficult times for them. But a few of you just keep going on and on. Now you want to “punish” the players and their fans I suppose. Get all the blood you can while you’re on a roll.  It’s really sad.
