Minutes: - CVU is appealing an Activity Standards Committee ruling that denied Josh  Platt a 5th year of eligibility. Current appeal is based on the interpretation of a VPA by-law and the fact that the CVU Football program has been in  existence for only 3 years (2 years as a club, 1 year as varsity). CVU feels that the ASC decision was based on a interpretation of a “hardship”. ASC felt the situation did not meet the hardship criteria and thus denied the appeal. CVU feels that based on the by-law wording, ASC could have made the decision without considering hardship as the wording allows ASC that  discretion. Discussion.

Motion by Steve H., second by David C., to grant Josh Platt a 5th year of eligibility. Vote – yes – 3, No – 2 Motion approved. Bob J. will notify the school of this decision.
