How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that eight-semester eligibility rule excluded students on the basis of age, not disability
• holding that Ohio High School Athletic Association was an “instrumentality” of the state because state delegated authority to organization, majority of its members were public schools, and it frequently used public facilities
• finding that student's disability did not cause his repetition of freshman year upon transferring schools and therefore did not cause his ineligibility under an eight-semester rule
• “[T]his court notes that every available district court opinion which has addressed this very issue has found that a state athletic association is an instrumentality of the State.”
