Kids transfer multiple times already all the time. I am waiting for the activist judge who allows a kid to play at one school on Tuesday and rules them eligible on Friday to play for another school.

It’s important to know that ihsa is not in favor of this bill. It takes them out of the process.

Does anyone know who sponsored this bill?

It would allow athletes to be at 3 different schools out of 4 years, no questions asked. Not everything the IHSA does is inherently bad

Not coming up with anything when searching for this for some odd reason. Not even the quoted info. Maybe jfrev can share where they got it?

I believe this was the original and the recent update is an amended version of the original bill?

Parents are going to figure out how to get their kid to “perceived school” that gets them best chance at NIL. It’s only going to get worse.

All... My Chicago area geography is not all that great. But looking at the sponser and cosponser represenatives of the bill it appears it's aimed more for basketball and not football? Ratsy
