His family moved from an apartment zoned for SP to one zoned for Thompson. Hard to believe there isn’t a rule preventing an in-season transfer and play, but there isn’t.


I mean he moved mid year to a new school. Should he play for a school he no longer goes to? Or should he not be allowed to play high school sports because his family moved?

Lol. You can’t make a rule.

Yes.

The rule would prevent programs (especially dirty ones like Thompson) from pilfering talent during the season. Not sure if it’s been mentioned, but Thompson lost their two best defensive linemen last season. Now a four star junior end is available and just so happened to move right before the playoffs?

Also, the rule would help with the transition during the year. Football teams are already in full swing and it would not be healthy socially for a new kid to get thrown into an active program. I don’t think it’d be bad for him to be able to practice, but imagine the pushback if he takes playing time from kids who have been busting their arse for years to get where they are.

This isn’t college or professional sports. There’s no “big business” involved. It’s kids in grade school.
