Kid in our neighborhood in Central goes to Live Oak, not sure how much investigating the LHSAA does concerning out of district athletes.


depends on how much complaining is done. I have seen them show up at the new house of kids multiple times at like 8 or 9 at night and request to check and make sure they are really living there. Can be a lot, can be nothing.

sulphur likes to throw fits in this area. Dunno about others.

What about those that don’t have the capacity to compete due to having restricted funds, then how do they compete, you have to keep some sort of boundaries



why do they have restricted funds?

and if a family has the ability to drive across town or to another town....why should you punish them and make them go to the lesser school?

Why make transfers bad at all? Or if a kid wants to travel across town and play for a different coach, etc.....who cares?
It DOESNT MATTER, its freaking high school sports. Real competitors want to play against the best.....


exactly.

but i can answer...its about control and the fear of being left behind. Laziness in terms of not wanting to have to compete and wanting to keep the status quo.

same in academics. take the AP for example. if they made it to where they all had to compete for kids...every school would immediately step up their game and start offering certain programs like stem classes, trade class, art classes etc. immediately the teachers would be held to a higher standard, the facilities would be better etc

why? because if they do not do those things, the school closes. no students = no money = no jobs. no different than basic free market business.


in the end its all about protection and fear of getting left behind. Same reason many parents get pissed when someone from their district send their kid to private school. AP kids that go to catholic....that pisses off the locals. they look at it as...those parents think their kid is too good to go to school with my little johnny.

like you said...its high school and high school sports....let the parents choice whats best for their kid. if they choose and find out later its not the right fit...ok then they should be able to rectify the situation without being punished.

And thats what's so weird about it to me. It only pertains to high school, and only pertains to sports..

Im in Lafayette, but if I want to pay to have a helicopter bring my son to John Curtis, and he attends class and makes his grades, why does any human on Earth care if he also plays football? Step further...he goes as a freshman and finds that there are 3 freshman kickers better than him. So the next year, he can't come home to school here and not sit out? But yeah, he can pay, attend class, recieve credits etc, but noooooooo, we can't have him compete in sports...you know, to make sure thats not why he switched back!

So, its fine if he switched for academic reasons, or religious, or mental health, etc etc.......but NO WAY can he switch to better himself athletically.

Many (most) moves are made because they could NOT play at the larger school, and they just want to see the field or court.

And grown arse adults, for decades, sit there and argue to the end of time, about a high school kid wanting to play high school sports.

Mind numbing

exactly.....the kid only has 4 years of his entire life.....so he should just sit and never play? because some adults feel like he should learn to compete?

same adults would move companies in a heart beat if they could get a raise or if they felt like they were stalled in their career


same thing with college. a kid makes a choice, sits for a year or two and then a phenom comes in and beats him out....most on here would say...tough titty, learn to compete and work through adversity, if you dont ever see the field too bad.

That is the low iq take. comes from people who cant think critically.

i didnt say anything about recruiting. I said kids should be able to choose which school they attend.


They are going to choose where they can be paid.

Don’t be naive and think that it is only tuition.

Good on them for making money.

As for the transfer rule…the PRIVATE organization known as the LHSAA will determine what that rule looks like.

Are kids getting paid? I mean, bag men at the high school level have existed for awhile. Good on them. Again, don’t be naive.
