I am not here to argue that right or wrong on the rule, but I will say this, it is SAD that our law makers are more worried about someones private agenda then trying to balance the budget and keep school districts from having to cut teachers, lose support personel and others that make our education system the best it can be. In a time where we are faced with such real life situations that are truly effecting the lives of so many around the commonwealth, I find it a shame that this is their focus. Just my opinion and as a tax payer I am embarassed by our officials lack of motivation to do something about the real problems we have in Kentucky

 

Braves, I'll just say on here that I think you may have got some bad scoop on the private agenda stuff and what forced the law makers to get involved in this matter. You are right in that there are a lot of other things that the law makers could be spending their time on and I believe the law makers would prefer to be addressing those other matters. Unfortunately, the KHSAA forced them to get involved. I sent you a pm with a lot more details that you may want to consider.

But, by most people's standards, a player and his parents changing schools because the new school has a better sports program, is not wrong. I consider it advertising. If your programs wins a lot, and is known to be a solid program, more power to you. That is what your goal is. But, it's not illegal.

 

I agree:ylsuper:

Everyone wants the best for their kids, and if your kid has talent and is playing for a team that is not competitive and the family is willing to make that move I respect their dedication. And should that kid get a scholarship it is worth the pain.

What penalties should the legislature give those acting above the law by retaliating against the schools that have injunctions from a judge. Who has done the worst a kid or school defying a KHSAA rule, or the KHSAA thinking they are more powerful than the laws of the land.
