They can try any school they choose. Don’t mean they would be ruled eligible but if they did things the legal way they would be ruled eligible

Not necessarily. When you say the legal way, most the time from what I hear is when a kid is ruled ineligible the first time some information wasn’t presented correctly and usually that incorrect information is from the school the player transferred from.

Correct, in some cases it’s as simple as the school the player left from, never responds to the khsaa.

That is some petty bull crap.  There should be some sort of an oversite with the KHSAA to make sure things like that don’t happen and schools should be subjected to fines if they don’t surrender the necessary paperwork within a determined timeframe.

I don’t think it’s right for school systems to punish kids for leaving their school for any reason.  I understand that feelings get hurt when kids leave schools but isn’t it the job of the school to ultimately guide young people towards being successful adults? Sometimes things just aren’t a good fit, that’s the real world and people move on from places all the time.  If a family is wanting to move on and explore other options then the school they are leaving failed in some aspect of retaining them and should cut their losses and move on without making other peoples lives difficult.
