re: More LHSAA… they want to allow one free transfer again…

I agree with this 10000000%

Here is the thing. They say one time transfer, then someone is going to want a second transfer because of extenuating circumstances. The LHSAA is going to say no and they will be viewed as the bad guy. Then the rich parents and law makers will start throwing out threats, filing injunctions and lawsuits.

ok deal with it when it happens

but im sorry, people shouldnt have lhsaa showing up and searching their house multiple times because of where they want to go to hs

and a kid that is very very good shouldnt have to sit behind a D1 prospect for 4 years and have zero chance to play. He has 1 life, 1 hs experience.

If they have not made contributions on the varsity field and they are in their junior year, why not let them transfer to a school they believe to be less talented and have at least one full year of contribution and get some reward for their hard work on and off the field?

---

They can already do that. I'm so confused why people think you can't transfer already. There are also plenty of ways to be eligible immediately. Is there a hardship? Did you make a bona fide move? Did you change from a school that is out of district to one that is in district? Because a few kids who thought they were better than they really were (honestly it's probably the bonehead parents that can't evaluate their kids talent and tell them they are a stud), we need to change the whole system? Do you even watch what's happening to college football? You want that at the high school level? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

Even most of the selects are against this

quote:

Everyone is against it because even the ones who will benefit the most know they'll also lose kids too, and no one wants to deal with all the extra work. Look at the colleges having to cycle through 50 percent of their team each year. It get's tiring. The city schools know it'll affect them the most.

---

why would i give a frick what most of them want? why would that affect my opinion on something especially when they are like you and being emotional about it


and wtf does college have to do with anything? are you thinking the schools are going to start offering NIL deals? and you say college is so bad yet the viewership is higher than ever. More teams than ever have a chance to win...i mean Indiana just won for god sakes. literally 2 years ago they were the worst program of all time. now they win an NC.

so explain how this is bad again?

Dude, you're just an angry dude who is intellectually dishonest. Your downvote ratio says enough. No one likes what you're saying, or agrees with you. I mean, when your argument is "Look at the team funded by Mark Cuban, that could you!" it's obvious your grasp of the situation is infantile.

---

im not angry I just think it is stupid. I dont care about downvote or upvote ratio. if you dont go along with the crowd and have have your own opinion...you get DV

if you think that Indiana had close to the NIL that LSU had you are mistaken big time. and HS isnt college. Boosters can barely afford to keep the lights on and pay coaches...they arent going out to pay some kid thousands to come there.


but you are the same kind of person that thinks when a private school offers free tution that its a form of cheating when all they did was make it cost the same as public school and level the playing field so that the kid could choose the best school for him.

this is all the rule is doing too. They are not forcing the kids to choose, they are allowing them school choice period. In many cases it allows the kid to go to a much better academic school than he is zoned for without having to be punished athletically with having to sit a year.

sure there will be some cases where a A-3A kid has a good year and feels like it is in his best interest to go to the bigger 5A school to play better competition and will give him a better chance of getting a scholarship......so what? How is that a bad thing?

there will also be lots of cases where a 5A school kid has sat and going into his junior year realizes he prolly isnt going to get on the field much even as a senior so he transfers to a smaller school and balls out. again why is this a bad thing?


TO give you a real world example....in lake charles, some of the wealthiest areas of town, like those along the lake, are zoned for Lagrange or Washington Marion. These parents would never send their kids to that kind of school. They send them to private for elementary and middle school. But what if a kid wants to go to Barbe....well they have to sit out a year from varsity play. or lets say they go on to St Louis but hate it.....now they have to sit a year if they get the out of zone and arent going to a terrible school.

there are many such instances across the state period.

You never want to do anything that encourages schools to cut kids (and schools will do that too)

If a kid gets cut, then they should be transfer eligilble.

yep but you will have people on here that scream too bad so sad. because they think an address means they own the kids talents.

at a very minimum this session they need to pass that a kid is eligible as freshman no matter if he is coming from a feeder school or nor and no matter if he is in zone or out of zone. This is affecting a lot of kids by me.

quote:

---

for public schools with standard attendance zones they do, for county/parish wide open enrollment the school system does - all statewide publics should be open enrollment by parish - but the teachers union wants no part of that. Then is it really a choice when EVERY public school in a parish is below standards - EBR for example the only two high performing schools have their own system - therefore are not EBR

---

I think it should be school choice across the board period and letting the schools compete. let the money follow the students and let the schools compete. at very minimum should be like that in a full parish school district.

quote:

---

Quit acting like this is such a travesty. It's one year of varsity athletics when 99% of freshman aren't good enough to play varsity anyway.

If it means that much to you, MOVE INTO THE PROPER SCHOOL ZONE!

or we could just let parents choose where they feel its best for the kids to go to school and stop letting organizations like lhsaa decide.

again like many on here, you miss the whole point. your whole reason for being against it is because...well it could create an unfair advantage


not whats best for the kid and what he wants or what is best for his future academically and athletically but more what you feel is fair.

your whole opinion is based on feelings. not facts, feelings you are using to support and org making choices for people they have never met.
