Chris Fleeger, former assistant wrestling coach at New Prairie, is appealing a 100-year suspension from the Indiana High School Athletic Association (IHSAA). The appeal hearing takes place today in Marion County court after Fleeger filed a complaint alleging due process violations. The suspension followed an incident involving Notre Dame football coach Marcus Freeman at a wrestling event in January, with Fleeger claiming he was unfairly punished based on a police report that didn't lead to charges against Freeman. Fleeger argues that the IHSAA did not fairly consider his case before imposing the lengthy suspension.
- •Fleeger filed a verified complaint against the IHSAA on June 15.
- •His suspension is based on multiple allegations, including encouraging harm to students.
- •The IHSAA denied Fleeger a fair hearing during the suspension process.
- •The court will hear the appeal today regarding procedural fairness.
