Sorry for the double post, not sure what my phone is doing! Is that actually how the rule is intended? I don’t understand that at all. I understand the idea behind new freshman, because they want to prevent recruiting and therefore want to make a kid think twice if he’s only choosing a school because of athletics. But punishing a kid who has been there all along? What if you lived in the attendance zone when you first started the school and then your parents moved? This makes no sense

Completely agree. Very few people pick schools because of sports, and I think the answer is to focus on those few kids who do. I know it’s a lot of legwork, but I think with some investigation and allowing everyone to report infractions (not just official complaints from a school), it’s pretty easy to figure out when a kid has been illegally recruited because of a sport. Make that’s it kid sit out for his whole high school or switch schools. But don’t punish the other kids!! These rules are punishing kids who are doing nothing wrong, while several illegally recruited kids are sliding through because they’re not being reported.
