All transfers eligible for regular season, ineligible for playoffs for one year.
That is still punishing kids who have no control over their situation. Some do but, most don't.
And letting a transfer in to play in front of a kid who follows the rules is punishing that kid.
This is true but I’m wondering how many of these uncontrollable situations would actually occur if this was put into place? How many unavoidable moves...new jobs....marriage seperations....financial hardships would occur?That is still punishing kids who have no control over their situation. Some do but, most don't.

You used to have to sit out an entire season, regular and post, then loop holes were found and people starting jumping through them and the hole got bigger.
I know this bloodied horse has been beaten to death, and I see the points of both sides, but my view is if a penalty is put into place then you will see less and less shady transfers happeneing.
Where are they originally from though? Shouldn't they play for the country of their ancestors before they transferred to the US?Makes me appreciate even more the drubbing 6A CG put on 8A NC last season. Homegrown kids going through the system and winning with very few going on to the next level.
No kids are transferring to CG with hopes of getting a better look by college coaches.Where are they originally from though? Shouldn't they play for the country of their ancestors before they transferred to the US?
When you think it can't happen....it will happen.No kids are transferring to CG with hopes of getting a better look by college coaches.
Here is the bottom line...the entire transfer AAU ball mentality is here to stay. Kids and parents want to get a leg up (whether it works or not is another issue) no matter the circumstances and if that means moving, lying, cheating stealing etc they will do it. Without blinking.
How is that punishing a kid? All playing time is earned not given. Are you saying that ALL Freshman (40 plus) play as seniors on Varsity? I have never seen that happen. Also, just because a kid transfers doesn't guarantee he will play. Team chemistry is very important to winning. This has been proven some many times.
Which is funny because the girls basketball coach at OE use to complain that the Brook was taking all his players.History lesson: when the Bolingbrook girls basketball team transferred to HF, who was it that blew the whistle on the scheme?
That’s an extreme situation and not relevant to 22 positions on a football field.History lesson: when the Bolingbrook girls basketball team transferred to HF, who was it that blew the whistle on the scheme?
The IHSA has one, I repeat one, guy who investigates transfers. How the hell is he supposed to investigate each one?I realize the IHSA does not have the resources to verify all of these "moves," but in the NC case there are so many that where there is smoke there is fire. How hard would it be to send a rep up from Bloomington and to go to each of the houses of the transfers to see if they actually live where they say they live? Catch some of these high profile cases and it my slow down the transfer train.

This state is huge...wasting money to investigate a.couple kids in Chicagoland or wherever? Districts need to verify residency, IHSA relies on whistleblowers & self reportingI realize the IHSA does not have the resources to verify all of these "moves," but in the NC case there are so many that where there is smoke there is fire.

It’s true. The rules are way too lax and implementing something like this would go a long way to nipping any nefarious or suspicious transfers in the bud.This is true but I’m wondering how many of these uncontrollable situations would actually occur if this was put into place? How many unavoidable moves...new jobs....marriage seperations....financial hardships would occur?

You would disband DCFS then? They're a bunch of grown men thinking they know what's best for someone else's kids too.Oh look, a bunch of grown men thinking they know what’s best for someone else’s kids.
All for one and one for yourself right? Do what you think is best for you.Oh look, a bunch of grown men thinking they know what’s best for someone else’s kids.
If you follow the transfers you will see a pattern. Certain schools embrace the transfer and don’t try and stop it or check up on it. Others will take them but will make sure it’s on the up and up. If New Trier or Stevenson gets a transfer I am willing to bet it’s legit.
IHSA asks schools to police themselves some do some don’t

Some even embrace showing you the loopholes to jump through.This is the biggest issue right here, the schools do a terrible job policing it if they did a better job most of this would disappear.

It is impossible to police if a parent rents or owns a residence in another school district!This goes on way more than the general public knows.This is the biggest issue right here, the schools do a terrible job policing it if they did a better job most of this would disappear.
or when they transfer guardianship.It is impossible to police if a parent rents or owns a residence in another school district!This goes on way more than the general public knows.
Correct but many don’t even do that so move on paper onlyIt is impossible to police if a parent rents or owns a residence in another school district!This goes on way more than the general public knows.
