I want to preface this post by saying the whole situation is extremely unfortunate. I can only imagine the amount of anger and frustration this has caused all parties involved. But, with that being said, this entire narrative is slightly odd to me…
Do people genuinely believe the power to decide a student’s eligibility is solely given to the school he/she is trying to leave? If this were the case, I would have to imagine this is the first instance in which it completely bypassed the state’s ruling. I don’t understand where the idea that a school can just *block* a transfer comes from. Everything regarding this situation would have to be reviewed by both schools, and decided upon by the state, right? After all, it was ruled by the IHSAA that this student was ineligible due to various circumstances. I find it hard to believe that the reason for this decision was simply that “…penn basically said nah.”
In fact, I find it considerably easier to believe that this maybe had something to do with the ruling…

One would think that enrolling at a new school (midway through the year) in which your personal coach is listed as a volunteer assistant would raise a few red flags in the IHSAA’s eyes.

Sounded like the kid was just looking for a better situation, with a coach that had more interest in helping him than following around a girl that graduated years ago and living off her success.
Penn hosted Regionals last year and the head coach was MIA pursuing the interest stated above
I also find these comments wildly bizarre, and fail to see how this could be a legitimate knock against any coach (also fail to see how it relates to this discussion..?). I would imagine anyone who follows Indiana wrestling recognizes the opportunity that this coach and this girl has to "...improve her craft for all of Indiana's enjoyment" - to use the words of *fanofwrestling*

It’s unfortunately not *spot on*. In any case where a student athlete transfers from one school to the next, it is immediately looked at by both schools’ administration and submitted to the IHSAA for a final review.
Simply put - the IHSAA is involved in any instance that a student athlete transfers schools.
Are we to believe that the schools are free to operate outside the scope of the state’s rules/regulations and can essentially decide for themselves if a student is eligible or not?
