The "Sophomore Draft"--Transfer after your freshman year.

I think what bothers me is that most of the schools who will vote for this aren't even affected by T or X. We are 2 Catholic high schools in Jefferson County, who for the most part don't play the other 119 counties, except a few 4A in the playoffs. We then usually end up playing the other 4A from our own district because the other publics can't beat any of the schools from Jefferson in some years. Maybe the schools that want this can start their own league, with equal playing time, and not keeping score. I bet they love to get us in basketball, and no one complains about that. Give us a solution that everyone can agree on, don't just throw us out.

First, I don't think this will be approved by the Board, even if it passes. Second, as I stated previously, and this is why it won't happen, is that a private school section of the KHSAA willbe able to create its own bylaws, etc., which will mean the $ will go back to the schools, not the KHSAA.

I have several comments. First at X at least 86 per cent of the students come from Catholic grade schools. Second, we use a college evaluation company to determine any type of financial aid. Third, most of the families there are by no means wealthy. Several have second jobs, and often the student also works. Fourth, next year everyone must belong to an association. No one from KY will be allowed to play Oak Hill unless they join a state association. Fifth, this means that the privates won't be kicked out, only start a new disivion, with its own bylaws. This means that they could conduct a separate sweet 16, and can allot the proceeds from state games back to the schools, and not the state. Last, is everyone that naive to think that if X, T and others are separated from the publics thata new super division among publics with Male, Manual, Dunbar, etc. wouldn't be created. Do you kick them out then?
