In the long run in this age of travel sports and private teams could this rule hurt the school teams?  There were already a lot of kids and parents opting out of their school team to play year round travel sports.  Could this rule keep the kids who do transfer to a new school from coming out and just focus on their travel team when they are eligible? 

Also does this apply to youth leagues within the school district that are not affiliated with the school or is it just the school affiliated teams.

To your first point: Yes, I agree. While the KY Dept of Ed and their board may believe this helps the KHSAA with tricky scenarios, it will eventually lead to the downfall of high school sports in favor of club/travel teams.
