CaptainHook Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 just saw it on twitter . . . notified this week of ineligibility . . . I wonder if this has happened to all IL kids trying to play football their senior season? Or just an isolated case? Quote
Football50dad Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 As an Illinois resident now, I know it was talked about quite a bit. My son, who is now a freshman, and I joked about me sending him to leave with his grandma in Fishers to play football this fall. I would think if someone really wanted to make the move for 6 months, there isn't much IHSAA could do about it, assuming it was a full move. People get new jobs all the time. 1 Quote

Committed to Syracuse. I understand the situation. But the fact of the matter is he moved back here to play his senior season because of what was going on in Illinois. He is not the only one. Quote

It's usually fine if already public knowledge and not malicious. Not all rules in life are posted because not all issues are black or white, illegal or legal. We learn through observation and experience what's acceptable in various contexts. ETA: @Bobref could probably explain with more authority about societal rights and wrongs and the theory behind that topic. 1 Quote

We were told by a high school coach that your senior year transfer rules didn't apply and you could go to any school? Is that not the case? Quote

Mebuck Posted October 10, 2020 Posted October 10, 2020 (edited) FW Snider has a young man who transferred from Illinois for his senior year. I believe he was not able to play till week 3 or 4. However, this young man is absolutely a beast. Gave Dwenger fits all night Edited October 10, 2020 by Mebuck Spelling Quote

So many people believe there is a such thing as "senior rights". I wonder if it was at some point in time? When I would tell my players and families there is no such thing they are sure I was wrong.
