June 7, 201016 yr Everyone is acting like the KHSAA won't all the kid to go to a private school. They are not blocking the kid from a private school education, if his tuition is indeed paid by someone other than his family, just athletics. True. But a follow up question: are athletics a very important part of the education process? If so, then denying them the opportunity to play athletics shouldn't be so easily dismissed. If not, then a whole lot of people (including coaches and administrators) for a very long time have been slinging a bunch of baloney about all the positives that participation in athletics has on academics and the educational process and one should wonder if the taxpayers should have their tax dollars spent on athletics by the schools. It's one or the other. It can't be both ways. Either athletics are important to the educational process and kids should have a right to play sports, or sports aren't important and tax dollars shouldn't be spent on them. I think it's the former and not the latter and thus feel the whole "sports are a privilege, and not a right" mumbo jumbo is intellectually dishonest and frankly hypocritical from any coach paid by my tax dollars to coach (even it's only $1) or from any school administrator approving a budge with athletic program dollars in it that are funded by the tax payers.

I completely and totally agree with your assessment of high school athletics. But there are rules put in place that can prohibit a kid from playing high school sports, which was my point. Follow the rules set forth by your governing body and enjoy the experience. Anyway, you're tax dollars are working just fine, considering we're talking about private schools.
November 21, 201015 yr Do you think all the kids that live outside of the city, that go to a city School pays the 4800.00 to go there.
November 23, 201015 yr Do you think all the kids that live outside of the city, that go to a city School pays the 4800.00 to go there. What school are you talking about?
November 23, 201015 yr Do you think all the kids that live outside of the city, that go to a city School pays the 4800.00 to go there. I know they are supposed too. Just like every transfer should be legitimate. Are there times when someone bends the rules, probably. Do they get punished if they get caught, yes. You can only play by the khsaa rules or take it to the court.

Anyway, you're tax dollars are working just fine, considering we're talking about private schools. I agree with the need to follow the rules completely. What I don't agree with is the thinking that the KHSAA doesn't regulate where you go to school, just whether you get to participate in athletics, which to me seems to diminish the values of athletics and the role athletics play in the educational process.

I disagree. You are not devaluing athletics, you are simply saying that you have to follow rules to play athletics. AKA, if you want to participate in athletics, you may have to go to school in the state you live. Making someone follow the rules and make a choice is not diminishing the value of athletics.

Within the rules an athlete can live in another state and compete in KHSAA. I disagree with your AKA.
December 2, 201015 yr Within the rules an athlete can live in another state and compete in KHSAA. I disagree with your AKA. That is the way it is at the moment. My AKA is that it shouldn't be allowed. Ohio made that change many years ago. You can attend a school from out of state, but you can't participate in OHSAA athletics if you live out of state.

Thats just great............deny a student, who is qualified to attend a school and meets all academic standards, the equality of extracurricular activities.
December 6, 201015 yr Thats just great............deny a student, who is qualified to attend a school and meets all academic standards, the equality of extracurricular activities. Like it or not, it was the fairest thing for Ohio. Along those same lines, the Diocese of Cincinnati portioned out the city so that each school had defined parishes that fed into the high schools. You can call both of those the Moeller rules. Moeller had athletes on its roster from Louisville, NKY, and Cincinnati. I know that this isn't a problem in NKY, I can't speak for Louisville.
