littlevito Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 What are the exact rules on a wrestler competing at a school to start a season, and then switching schools mid season and competing for a new school? Cause a little birdy told me of one that is happening right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zachpierson Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I am pretty sure as long as they move and can prove its not for athletic reasons then it's fine as i understand it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RankingsGuy Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Van Horn to Yorktown, Knura to Lowell.. I'm hearing Van Horn may be eligible right away, but Knura could have to wait until next season to be eligible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decbell1 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Was there some sort of January transfer window that the rest of us missed out on or what? ;D I know that's how it works in International Soccer, but this is all pretty crazy...

AJ Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Is the waiver wire still open or was midnight last night the deadline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoggyStyle! Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Wow! Whats up with all the franklin kids leaving! Van Horn,Knura,and Keif that's alot of talent leaving, regardless Franklin is a top notch program and will most likely reload with some solid kids.

Fresh Fish Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 There's a lot more to the story of the Franklin kids leaving. Even more then the drinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RASSLER4LIFE Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Maybe it is the end of the semesters and this allows the transfers to happen without any delay in the wrestlers season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FC118 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Van Horn to Yorktown, Knura to Lowell.. I'm hearing Van Horn may be eligible right away, but Knura could have to wait until next season to be eligible Yorktown, Lowell, and Florida - those are long distance moves. It is not like they are transferring to Center Grove, Whiteland or Roncalli. Sounds like family employment decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infowrestling Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Wow...........I really can't believe you can change schools, in season, and still be eligible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRESTLING IS LIFE Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Just more tarnish on the reputation of this sport. Sad commentary on the sport that we all claim to LOVE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2CJ41 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 So what you are saying is that a kid's Dad or Mom choosing to move for a job or whatever should disqualify a high school student from participating in athletics? Why? Somehow these specific moves do not look like they are due to their parents accepting a new job. One kid is allegedly moving to a top 10 school and filling a hole they have in their lineup. That seems very fishy to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarlHungus Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 So what you are saying is that a kid's Dad or Mom choosing to move for a job or whatever should disqualify a high school student from participating in athletics? Why? I don't think that is what he is saying at all. There is much more to this story that infowrestling probably has heard about but is classy enough to not post.

southsidedad Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Wasn't they both already suspended for the season for athletic code violation? Thought that had been brought up in another post. If so and I'm not saying it is, can they be eligible at another school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so and I'm not saying it is, can they be eligible at another school? Yes they were suspended due to an athletic code violation. They can be eligible if the other school decides not to honor that suspension. From my experience most schools would honor that suspension.

NLCards Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 This is not college athletics. That is a different story. Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarlHungus Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Hypothetically, if an athlete is suspended at one school and transfers to another school, the receiving school will honor the previous school's suspension. If the transfer is for athletics, the IHSAA has jurisdiction. If it is a hardship case as determined by both school principals, the athlete can be eligible.

meto Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 i feel bad for the kids that worked there butts off all season for a varsity spot and now there season may be over with , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NLCards Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 There are many reasons. In college scholarship money is involved (albeit not much in wrestling). High school attendence is compulsory and high school athlectics is offered to supplement that cumpulsory education. Practically all high school students are minors with no legal authority over where they live or what school they attend. In short, college is different than high school. To me, it seems like many of the things you listed above are reasons why the IHSAA SHOULD be involved in such situations, not why they should not. But that's just my opinion.

MatChick76 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 If a student is on suspension at one school, and then mid-season transfers to another school, I would think that the IHSAA should look into the transfer, because on the face of it, that situation seems to lead to the belief that the move is happening for athletic reasons (especially if the student resumes his season at the new school with no consequences). If there is nothing to hide, and the moves are happening for employment, hardship, or whatever reason, then there should be nothing to fear from the IHSAA. I read a rather lengthy post yesterday about giving these kids a break, and forgiving their indiscretions, and while I agree with most of what was said, there is also something to be said for making these student athletes face the consequences of their choices. If these moves are directly related to consequence-avoidance, it sends the wrong message to the rest of the student-athletes, in any sport, across the state. We spend their whole wrestling careers telling our children about the guts, determination, discipline, sportsmanship, performance, and sacrifice that it takes to be a wrestler. We chastise them for their weight and constantly push them to go harder, be better. Everyday in their wrestling room, they learn the punishment for getting pinned, poor performance, gassing - and they pay the price. We hold them to a higher standard, but that shouldn't only be on the mats. If these transfers are due to running from consequences, all I can say is, Man up boys, life doesn't get any easier.
