If permission is all that is needed, here you go:

EVERYONE HAS MY WRITTEN PERMISSION TO VIDEO AND POST ANY OF MY SONS' WRESTLING MATCHES.

Now everyone else can follow suit and there will be no need for clandestine operations!

Richard, could you post the exact verbage of the rule? I don't have my handbook with me. I am not sure permission is all that you need.

I know that most of the videos posted of Kansas High School wrestling matches do not comply. I am grateful that some have the guts to tape and post finals or any matches so that those who are unable to attend can still watch. We need to seek every avenue of promotion. We need to move out of the dark ages as a state. It sucks bad enough that we have to have our state tournaments in three or four buildings, why deny the opportunity to watch a great wrestling match online because of some obsolete rule? If 51% of the coaches and admins agree that the rule is not enforceable or unwanted the rule should go away. The real problem is that KSHSAA has set up their mechanism for change to mandate that 95% of the coaches approve the rule. My guess is that 50% are not even aware of the rule to begin with and even more than that just don't care.
