WOW! That's crazy.

The forfeiture is due to ineligible player(s). Below is the rule cited by the AAA:

Students wishing to participate in interscholastic activities shall have the opportunity to become eligible for these activities when they meet ALL eligibility rules. They will remain eligible for the opportunity to participate provided they do not: (1) exceed any limitations, (2) fail to meet any minimums, or (3) violate any other rules of the association. They may, however, regain their opportunity to participate at a later date by correcting any deficiencies that caused the ineligibility

NOTE: Students who exceed the senior high age rule or the senior high semester rule limitations shall have no further opportunity to be eligible

The rule they cited is Section 1 - exceed any limitations. This means the player was either over the age of 18 or had used their allotted eligibility (4 years).

Multiple sources in Carlisle have indicated that four ineligible players were used. One was found at mid-term by the basketball staff during academic checks, and the other three were found after that.

Due to this, Coach Jack Keith has been suspended and is expected to be terminated as head coach. He will finish out the semester as a teacher per multiple sources.

How dumb do you have to be to think that you won't get caught?
