Kelly the Dog Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Someone is trying to convince me there is something called the UIL, which governs high school sports nationally. Something to do with being academically eligible or ineligible. But I can't find anything on it. And thought that the National federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) governs high school sports. Apparently in texas there is something called the University Interscholastic League, but that is not it. Could anyone help a caucasion out here?

Just Jack Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 The only links I see for a UIL are all Texas related, not national. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilly Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 In my work with UT Austin, I've run into a lot of UIL stuff. UIL is the University Interscholastic League, and its basically something that meets at different high schools to do competition in many things, not just athletic, for high school students. They use the UT Austin computer systems, which is why I know about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UIL is a voluntary program for high schools, not a mandatory governing body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under UIL rules it's OK for a booster club to send a band member to a band camp. You would think that athletes would get the same, but nope, can't help a student athlete pay for a summer camp. Can't tell you why, but thems the rules. What the fug do you do at band camp anyway? (in no way do I want to disparage any former HS band members, or the parents of any current, future or past band members) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
