I understand parents want to give their kids every advantage they can. If this is such a widely accepted practice, why are there still rules against it? Is it fair that one student has legitimate social, academic, and athletic reasons for wanting to transfer but has to give up a year of eligibility while time after time students at select schools transfer without losing eligibility? Let’s get rid of the facade of having this rule if they are not universally applied. Notice I’m not saying to level the playing field, because there are families that cannot afford to pick-up & move, but removing the rule barrier is a step in the right direction.
