I don't believe that. If he wanted to get the team together and have pizza on his dime, how is that attached to the school in any way? -- nm - oblique Sep 9, 07:20 17
- That'd be so many violations, they'd automatically jump to joining the SouthEast Conference. -- nm - NCAA Sep 9, 07:31
- So what Mary Kay Letourneau did was OK because it was off school grounds & not on school time? -- nm - CovingtonCat Sep 9, 07:30 8
  - Funny story, they got married, raised their kids, and lived happily ever after. -- nm - Qale Sep 9, 07:34 2

  - Please don't try compare sexual abuse of a child to attending a church -- nm - oblique Sep 9, 07:31 1
    - I think foisting religion on a child when it's not accepted by the parents to be a form of abuse. - CovingtonCat Sep 9, 07:39
  - Pretty sure there are laws against statutory rape. -- nm - Ender Sep 9, 07:31 2
    - You're right. Should've found a better example where school employees are still representatives of the school whenever students are involved, no matt - CovingtonCat Sep 9, 07:35
    - not in every state for minor boys.l -- nm - loosilu Sep 9, 07:32
- He is the coach. That's his relationship to the kids. His duty as coach means he doesn't get to have a separate personal relationship with the kids - TWuG Sep 9, 07:25 1
  - I don't think any contact between coach and student off school hours/property becomes a school responsibility - oblique Sep 9, 07:31
- ok, what if he took the team to a strip club on his dime? is that ok? -- nm - loosilu Sep 9, 07:21 3
  - If he takes them to a strip club he's going to need a lot more than a dime. At the very least some singles. -- nm - Ender Sep 9, 07:22
  - You can't legally take kids to a strip club -- nm - oblique Sep 9, 07:22 1
    - you can't legally baptise kids without permission either. -- nm - loosilu Sep 9, 07:23
- that's not unconstitutional. -- nm - loosilu Sep 9, 07:20
