To allow for the WVSSAC to pull coaching certificates of coaches who are found guilty of illegal recruiting
HB 2708 would authorize the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission (WVSSAC) to revoke coaching credentials from high school coaches found guilty of illegally recruiting student athletes. This directly affects coaches who violate recruiting rules, removing their ability to coach in West Virginia's public secondary schools. The bill amends existing law to give WVSSAC the specific authority to pull coaching certificates as part of enforcing athletic regulations. It does not change eligibility rules for student athletes but focuses solely on holding coaches accountable for recruiting violations.
