Anyway that isn't my real point but this is. The COACH had to sign a waiver for EACH participant that had their number of hours currently enrolled. Ok that sounds easy BUT there is more, attached to this waiver must be the athletes CLASS SCHEDULE and the waiver is to be signed by the schools REGISTAR'S OFFICE before it is turned in at check-in.
So my next question/comment is did the school sign off on this not knowing what it was for or did the coach forge the signature needed OR did NCA overlook that these forms were not turned in for this/these athletes? This situation seems a lot more sticky then it seems on the surface. Someone didn't do their job correctly and fingers may need to be pointed at more then just the coach.
Anyone know the difference in insurance costs if a team is fully competitive, ground bound, cant throw baskets... all of that? Is it all the same price or are there REALLY differences?
I'd be surprised if anyone can accurately compile this information. From what I understand insurance laiblity policies for cheer are not entirely accurate. If so I am sure they would not allow as many high school teams to be coached by uncertified coaches or they wouldn't allow them to instruct skills they are not qualified to supervise or teach.
So, the question is, why are schools not allowing skills? Is it truly insurance premiums or the threat of insurance premiums?
I know of some "high profile" colleges that have done this in the past and never got caught.....NCA just chooses who they want to catch.

And this is the second time this same exact thing happened to SFA!All I keep thinking about it the SFA team - they have the title now, gee thanks. They didn't get that intense moment at awards when you know you're either 2nd or 1st and suddenly you know - you've WON. Of course the title is huge, but that moment of victory is unique and they were robbed.
In grad school (and most military branches), 9 credits is considered full time. Thus, 9 credits should be universal across the board to account for all student types.I just checked the NCA rule book and it sort of confused me be it said that the student but be a full-time student at their school or be taking a minimum of 9 credit hours. Is full time not usually 12 hours at most schools? So why say full time then say 9 hours? Seems like silly wording to me.
