One constant on this forum is that posters really have no clue how tuition assistance works under the LHSAA.

Again, the majority of schools don't have attendance zones anymore and, for a lot of private schools, their LHSAA attendance zone in no way reflects where their student population lives.

for public schools with standard attendance zones they do

This is a minority of schools now and, as a percentage basis, even a lower minority of students under the LHSAA.

Why should any student lose eligibility for a rule that no longer reflects the reality of schools in Louisiana - especially when individual districts have the option of evolving?

I understand the hesitancy of the one-time transfer but the real elephant in the room is the continued reliance on archaic attendance zones.

But the reason Washington DC is a swamp because of the extremely wealthy.

That’s a naive position.

DC is swamp because the position attracts egomaniacs and the voters keep putting these egomaniacs into office and then make accuses for them as the consolidate more and more power.

In a few months, the American people could vote to change the entire make up of the House and 1/3 of the Senate. Instead, they will vote 90% of the current membership back in.

I agree with Matt Walsh's take on the Super Bowl commecial - there is nothing "silencing" these women. I would imagine every reporter in the world would run through a wall for an interview where names are dropped.

There are worse things in life than not being allowed to play varsity as a freshman,

It doesn't say you can't play, you just have to play JV or Freshman ball.

The LHSAA governs more sports than just football. A lot for sports don’t have JV/Freshmen competition because of lack of numbers - especially in the lower classes.

Seems like a more than fair trade off for someone who chooses to attend a school out of attendance zone.

Over half the schools in the LHSAA don’t operate under an attendance zone for admissions. It’s a relic of the past. That is my major issue with the current rules - the law and the local school board says a student can attend school X for high school but a minority of schools still operate under an archaic system, so we remove that student’s athletic eligibility for doing something completely legal and accepted.

Here's a more likely scenario: small school develops talent and is putting together a good run for a year or two. Sally Striker and Suzy goalkeeper have turned into strong candidates that could get playing time at the 5A school across town and leave their teammates high and dry senior year. So you really punish the kids ego are left behind who didn't do anything wrong the coaches that developed the talent don't get to enjoy the fruits of their labor, and now a whole team is worse off.

That is the rarer circumstance. Most transfers occur because the kid isn’t playing as much, there is a disagreement with the coaches, or the kid was cut.

The transfers we see with high end athletes are usually from a poorly run program to a better run program but, again, that’s a lower instance than above.

The problem is that a certain segment of society equates accountability with “hate”.

Frankly, when anyone uses the term “hate” in a political argument, I dismiss their opinion immediately.

How common is it for a wrestler to go undefeated in high school?

**for a season

Much more rare now than in the past because the top kids in the state now travel around the country to the best tournaments during the regular season.

The best high school wrestler in Louisiana history is a senior at Teurlings and he has three losses from the Ironman Tournament. He is currently ranked in the top ten in the country at his weight class.

The second best kid is from Acadiana. He has two losses from the Beast of the East Tournament.

But Ironman and Beast of the East are nationally renowned tournaments every year.

“Make” is tricky. Basically all of Musk’s value is tied directly to the performance of his companies through his stock holdings. He actually “makes” no money in the traditional sense. He hasn’t taken a salary since I think 2019.

That’s why this whole “tax the billionaires” shite is so ridiculous to anyone who an ounce of economic sense. These guys entire value is illiquid.
