KHSAA going to check with member schools to get feedback on changing transfer rule. 

I'm all for this so long as they do a better job at cracking down on the coaches who openly try to recruit kids from other schools. I know open transfers could feed that issue, but most times that a kid is transferring it is to better them in some situation. It may be better academics, maybe they were picked on and need a new environment or maybe it is just to increase their exposure or playing time in sports. If the move is to make a situation BETTER FOR A KID, who am I to say they should have to sit.

Wow, this could get ugly and quick.  I think they should allow a few more exceptions or reasons to allow for a transfer than they currently do, but to just allow a "free" transfer would be disastrous I believe.  Might as well go ahead and start a KHSAA transfer portal while we're at it.

It would certainly be wild here in Louisville. Would create a bigger gap between the haves and have nots.

One time and once only transfer, let’s do it. 

This could be horrible for schools who aren’t powerhouses. What is the point of this? KHSAA made the wrong person mad by not allowing a transfer? Why can kids not play where they live? KHSAA should enforce the rules in place. Yes AAU does it different, great this isn’t AAU. 

This is like saying "Hey, my arm hurts pretty bad.  I assume it'll feel better if I chop off my leg."

This.

But not just in Louisville, everywhere. Small rural teams that wait for that once-every-5-years type talent (or once in a generation talent) may never see that talent again.

I am always for choice, I am 100% for this.

They can, if they want to. 

Right, so why make this like AAU? I know this won’t be a liked statement but what happened to learning to deal with adversity?

Instead of transfers I wish they would look into basing teams on age instead of grade. Similar to travel/AAU teams.

I don't follow. How would that change transfers?

Welcome to BGP @D1RTYBIRD!

Completely in support of this. If you want to transfer and a school has a spot for you, you should be able to. 

Anybody affiliated with a school may leave at any time and be at a different school immediately. Why should the students be any different?
