This is a very easy way for a kid, through the actions of his parents, to gain a competitive advantage. One hopes that the kid, in his or her post-high school life, doesn't become frustrated or angry when he/she realizes these types of advantages are no longer so readily available.

 

There is nothing easy about selling your family farm in one location that you have lived in for years and uprooting your family (sister transfers too) to another county so that you can try and give your kids better opportunities as you see fit as a parent. If parents are willing to sell their homes and make the kind of financial sacrifices it takes to legitimately relocate, then eligibility is a no-brainer. It is a huge risk for the family too. There is no doubt that.

It's a joke and an embarrassment that this is becoming the norm. Sure it is within the letter of the rules but definitely not the spirit of the rules. Used to be if there wasn't a legitimate reason (academic or social) for holding a kid back you couldn't do it. It's not the kids fault but it's on the parents. What message is this sending to the kids? Guess I am naive and old fashioned for thinking High School was about otaining an education.

I am very much in agreement with you,,not a whole lot of us left....

I could be wrong but I think UL had a total of 15 kids from KY on campus this weekend, including Trace.

More than that I think. All 2017 and 2018 kids I believe. Taking advantage of the extra practices they get to have before a trip.
