Remember, sports and other extra-cirricular activities are not rights. A lawsuit would do nothing but waste said parents money.
Of course the schools could let players play that are not eligible and just forfeit said games at end of season though.

Here's 28-6-2 (9)... it's a bit wordy, so read thru it once, then go back and read just the last 7 words by themselves ...
In the case of a school reorganization or consolidation which results in the discontinuance of one or more high schools in which students had been or would be eligible under this rule, these students become eligible in the school designated by the school board to receive pupils from the discontinued school at the time set for the reorganization or consolidation and
only in the high school so designated.
Key word here is 3rd from the last... it's singular, not plural.
Even IF Tilley said it, I think someone could challenge and win... he may have said it's okay, but it's black-and-white in the rulebook that multiple schools aren't okay.
The part about designating Lee is interesting. I know WV flat-out does not allow a kid to be eligible in a neighboring county in this situation. Guess this is a way to appease those PARENTS who don't their kid to be a (whatever).
I'm also intrigued about what Lee Co. thinks about this. Do they not have a say if Wise Co. says a Keokee kid is eligible there?
