Bill Introduced in Illinois House Allowing Two Transfers in High School
- Thread starter jfrev
- Start date
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.
Glad they are trying to solve the important things 🙄
It’s important to know that ihsa is not in favor of this bill. It takes them out of the process.
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.
IMO, it’s all inevitable. Why should anyone be able to dictate where parents send their kids to school?
If that’s 4 schools in 4 years, so be it.
If you want to move your family 4x to go to 4 different public schools or simply go to 4 different private schools, that’s your choice to do that to/for your kid.
Schools can always simply not allow for that kid to be on the team and not accept them.

It's an amendment to HB0473 and you can find it at ILGA.gov. The amendment was just introduced last week. IHSA sent out an email to all members with the info.
Camille Y. Lilly is a Democratic member of the Illinois House of Representatives from the 78th district. The district includes the Austin neighborhood in Chicago and parts of the suburbs of Elmwood Park, Franklin Park, Oak Park, and River Grove.[1]
One of the local transfer factories had 8 on their basketball roster this year along with 5 returning players. Their coach played 7 kids when games were close. 2 of which were returning kids.
I don’t have a problem public or private allowed to transfer. The only issue I see that they need to figure out is school taxes. Especially public school. How do they collect taxes for kid living out of a particular district.
I realize that basketball is another animal and it is common for kids to transfer schools regularly. This amendment is aimed at HS Basketball.
We all have seen kids transfer once, likely to put themselves on a better team with the hope of getting noticed by college recruiters.
Although extremely rare, I have seen kids transfer twice over 4 years. He, or his father, are likely looking for playing time the kid is not getting at his prior schools. That story doesn't end well.
I can't imagine a kid transferring 3 times in 4 years seeking to play on a 4 different HS football teams.

I can't say players names on here but their was a player in the Catholic League who spent his HS career at three different Catholic League schools and played at three in 4 years.
I've said it here many times, and @colin2229 said above, let them transfer if they aren't happy, because I just cringe and laugh at the lies and extremes some of these families go to....claiming financial hardships, moving to apartments, filing marriage separations, then playing out these lies, and having the school have to lie....it's comical. Just let them transfer without having to resort to being deceiving and dragging your kid into it.
This situation and so many others presented week after week in current times point to how sideways or even upside-down contemporary life has largely gone. So many of today's entities and institutions seem to have become ungovernable or unmanageable. It's a damn shame.
Sadly the upper levels are influenceling the lower levels. Kids see college players transfer and think that's the road they need to take. I'm not good enough to be a star at one school so I'll transfer until I find a school that worships me.
People forget this is HS and unfortunately no one wants to bruise the ego of teenagers and be honest with them and let them know that little Timmy isn't the next Patrick Mahomes or LeBron James.
Like another poster said, glad to see our legislators are tackling the important issues. 🙄

HS transfers are still rare, relatively speaking. The majority of kids aren't transferring between high schools. Even in cbb where there are over 18k d1 players, only 1900 go in the portal.
On the bball side, Marcus Lovett played at 4 different hs. And I think AJ Casey was at 3. Fb, there was a kid in the SWC who started at Ofallon, transferred to ESL, then transferred to Belleville East.
What even are the current transfer rules?
Kanland had a bball player transfer in from St Fran at semester. The kid lives in Kanland’s district and sat out for 30 days. After 30 days he was still ruled ineligible.
Thought kids were able to transfer to their local public school and play? No?

And then the IHSA changed course and ruled he should have never played and he wasn’t allowed to play in their last two games.
Article I read must have been before that happened.
Thanks for the clarification.
The kid transferring still need to live in district. If not - then IL has true school choice (which is what they should allow for anyway).
