San Marcos High School will once again go before the University Interscholastic League State Executive Committee for alleged recruiting violations.
San Marcos Athletic Director and head football coach John Walsh, coach Lee Vallejo, SMCISD employee Earl Anderson and SMHS representatives will take part in a hearing Tuesday at the Courtyard Marriott Austin in Pflugerville.
The UIL SEC hearing surrounds San Marcos High School’s appeal of District 27-6A Executive Committee’s decision to ban the varsity football program from postseason eligibility for two years. Additionally, 12 student athletes were ruled ineligible after the District 27-6A Executive Committee claimed they transferred for athletic purposes.
San Marcos’ football program regained playoff eligibility following its first UIL SEC meeting on Oct. 3. Walsh and Anderson, however, were both given three years of probation and were also issued public reprimands.
During the Oct. 3 meeting, the UIL SEC said it reserved the right to revisit possible postseason sanctions following eligibility hearings for the student-athletes.
All 12 student-athletes at San Marcos High School were ruled ineligible for 3-years after they appealed their varsity eligibility status to the UIL SEC. UIL oversees high school athletics in the state.
Tuesday’s meeting begins at 9:30 a.m. The UIL SEC meeting is open to the public and can also be viewed online at https://bit.ly/3FbHAYb.
