That’s nonsense. That’s the excuse these bigger schools use to recruit… “these kids just want exposure”. It’s not 1998 anymore. If a player is good, they will get exposure even if they play 1A ball. The internet has made the whole “exposure” talking point a myth. 

Yes and no. A player could be a one man show at a 1a school and look like a man amongst boys. But if he goes somewhere and plays against the 6a/7a schools he can get a gauge on how good he really is. If a player at a 1a schools averaged say 250yds a game rushing and left to play at a 6a/7a school and only averaged 60yds a game rushing then you have to really ask yourself is he really that good of a player.

Yes, but at the same time, no.  Now that college recruits get NIL the colleges are offering more money to kids that stand out in larger classifications, on average.  There are kids being told directly that they can get 50k a year as is but if they go up a couple school classes and perform the same they can get 75k.  That drives a lot of the transfers.  

 

There are pending lawsuits in several states now where school athletics governing bodies denied transfers from kids we were told this.  Then lawsuits were filed arguing that former coach/school and state athletics body had impeded the kids right to future income.  This involves federal income laws.  This is precisely why some states are allowing high school nil and school choice laws to pass. 
 

MS is too far behind. Or too many people in state legislature and/or the MHSAA are trying to find a plan to have it pass so that they themselves profit off of it first.  I’m waiting ti see when the first lawsuit hits and what dominoes fall after that.
