AHSAA Reverses Tuscaloosa County Football Forfeit, Updates Gift Card Rule
The AHSAA Central Board of Control has rescinded a football forfeit assigned to Tuscaloosa County High School after clarifying a portion of the AHSAA Amateur Rule. The team had forfeited a win over Bessemer City after two players received food gift cards for their performance in a previous game. However, the board clarified that food-related gift cards are excluded from the rule, resulting in the rescission of the forfeit. The clarification aims to clear up any confusion regarding gift cards and the Amateur Rule moving forward.
