The rules need to be scrapped if they are not going to be enforced fairly. In fact, I think that the KHSAA should be scrapped. It's funny how all of the sympathy is for the transfers when they have D-1 skills. Not much consideration seems to be given to the kids who have worked hard throughout their high school careers only to lose PT to players who may not even be enrolled the day after the season ends.

I agree that rules should be followed but I disagree that a kid get ruled inelgible. I also look at it kinda like this, if a basketball or baseball player comes out his senior year and beats out a player, then do you start the 1st year player if it helps your team or do you start the player because he has worked hard to get a spot. I thought you put the best 11 on the field. So if a team gets a transfer, then what do you do. I know of kids who has transferred and they end up quitting and it not working out. It goes both ways. I guess if the Smith Twins decided to go to Johnson Central this season, you would tell them that buddy, we have kids that have worked hard for years to get to play this year, you cant come here. Really? are you going to say that.

These players played four years out of state and suddenly decide to take advantage of a Kentucky law intended to help Kentucky students an extra year to catch up academically and have an extra year of eligibility to make up for lost time because of COVID. Their father refers to Connecticutt as their "home," despite enrolling them in a school hundreds of miles away in Kentucky.

If these two kids are eligible to play in Kentucky, then Kentucky should eliminate all rules regarding transfers. For the sake of the other Corbin players, I hope that Corbin has done their due diligence to make sure that their prize transfers have provided all of the information necessary for the KHSAA to declare them eligible. It would truly be a shame for the team to be stripped of wins for using ineligible players deep into the season.

If the circumstances were the same and I still had any connection to Johnson Central, I would feel exactly the same if they decided to play two out of state players who should have no eligibility left in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Does anybody expect them to fly back and forth to home after football season ends?

This is my last post in this thread and I am going to try my best not to participate in any more Corbin threads.
