Rebel Bert Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 The executive committee has established by a vote of 11-0 a set rules and eligibility for student athletes transferring from public to public schools. Those rules will be announced when the legislature passes such law. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyhoundtransplant Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 In thinking about this. What does it really matter what rules they put in place when they selectively enforce what they have now. Do we really see that changing? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyouevencoachbro Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Don't we already have rules? Granted they are subjective depending on what school you are transferring to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Bert Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 I believe the legislature was attempting to pass a change to the rules for preventing let's say Oak Grove or Lamar County School Board from preventing by a no vote not to accept a student from transferring from Oak Grove to Petal as an example. Then Petal School board will have a meeting to accept. They are trying to take the right of Lamar County having to accept the transfer and not accept the transfer. However MHSAA by laws allows principal and AD from Oak Grove to file a complaint against Petal for recruiting violations as currently written.

Right now for a student to go from the district they live in to another district they have to be released by the school board of the current school and accepted by the new one. The law they are attempting to pass removes the ability of the current school to hold them and limits the reasons the new one can use to not accept. Again the transfer rules are already selectively enforced. We see it on the coast all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Bert Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 How many schools are willing to lose money on a student transferring? Has anyone ever complained of having vote on students leaving? It's just a formality unless he's an all state athlete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most the time it doesn't even make it to the school board, the release/paperwork is handled lower, or if it does it's lumped in to a mass vote.

You're right, we all agree that Joe, Bo, and Moe have left for Hattiesburg. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
