The Appellants sought reversal of a decision of the Board of Control of the IHSAA that ruled Clinton Youlden ineligible to compete in athletics for a period of 90 school days. Clinton is a foreign exchange student from Australia. The IHSAA monitors foreign exchange student programs due to their concern of possible recruitment of foreign students for participation in athletics.

In reviewing all the facts at the hearing, the administrative law judge and hearing panel determined that the Board of Control acted appropriately in denying Clinton Youlden eligibility to participate in athletics for 90 school days.
