    vito pepperelli got a reaction from BrennanFan in Moran brothers?   
    Don't get your bloomers in a bunch, it's a discussion forum. If you don't like what I have to say, don't read it. The last thing I am is a CP supporter.  I'm just calling it the way I see it.  I have not nor will you ever hear me say a negative word about Leroy Vega.  My issue is with the spirit of the transfer rule.  You can call me old school (call me whatever you want actually, I could care less), but I believe rules are meant to be followed.  Simple as that. If you don't like the rules go through the proper channels to have them changed.

    It also sounds "petty and misguided" to transfer to another school because the former coach retired and kids (i.e. parents) allegedly scurried from the program like rats from a sinking ship. Coincidentally, the new school just happens to magically have a state ranked wrestling team - how convenient. Rules are rules, and yes sometimes they "supersede" personal needs. I want to be able to drive as fast as I want on I65 but the rules say I can't. Why? Because those are the rules. I don't have to like the rules, but I also recognize I may get punished if I don't.
     
    I do feel sympathy for the Moran's in the sense they are getting punished when kids at other schools are not; sometimes in situations that rumor has it are far more egregious. Youth sports stopped being "about the kids" a long time ago - probably about the time we let adults start making the rules!

    The problem is the rule is only applicable a portion of the time.  Almost a certainty this decision lied SOLELY in the hands of CP's AD.

    Correct.  Because one of the biggest life lessons sports participation is supposed to teach is if you don't like your situation just find a better set of circumstances instead of dealing with potential adversity.

    Please be serious, this is not about money.  Crown Point probably had 4 new kids move in the week the Moran's left.  The IHSAA specifically forbids transfers for primarily athletic reasons.  Period.  If people don't like the rule, contact the IHSAA and voice your complaint.  
     
    As for the Moran's I don't know them or their specific situation, and probably neither do 99% of the other posters on this forum.  What I do enjoy is the uproar in the country about rules not being followed until it affects them personally. I say let's have open enrollment at any time.  Don't like your team's chances come January?  Transfer to a better one. Coach is a jerk in December?  Transfer.  Can't beat the guy in your weight class?  Transfer.  
     
    Lastly, Crown Point should build a wall so kids can't leave and Portage should pay for it.  Problem solved.

    It's up to the school to file a report with the IHSAA.  Local control is generally a good thing.  
     
    And for the record I have ZERO desire for Crown Point to become great again!

    On a serious note IHSAA hasn't really stopped transfers even if blatantly for athletic purposes.  Check the numbers,  less than half of a percent or ineligible.

    Region Royalty, If the family has been trying to move to Portage for the past 18 months, why didn't they just take advantage of "open enrollment" and drive them to Portage at the beginning of the 2015-2016 school year?  I have zero personal interest in this case but when you move from one powerhouse program that just had their coach retire to another powerhouse, it's going to raise some eyebrows.

    I know it's a wrestling site..but being a 50+ year #CubFan is very similar to wrestling and what it teaches you. Perseverance, pride, coming back after tough losses and years....continual hope in the process knowing that #SomeDay would come eventually. So even if you aren't a #CubFan...today the W can stand for Wrestling too! Cubs...Wwwwoooo!

    Agreed (sorry, but he doesn't even qualify for the laser etched plaque).  But being Devil's advocate, I don't think there's formal criteria. If there were, being a one time champ probably doesn't make the grade either, which is what makes Nick's legacy so intriguing

    vito pepperelli reacted to indyt in Team Indiana and moratorium   
    I really hesitate from getting on here due to the true lack of knowledge by people and the perceptions that become realities because certain posters say it to be true. Bottom line. No rules are broken if team Indiana has it's camp over moratorium. Not even SKIRTED which has become the big word on here when people can't find a rule to be broken and they have to have some ammunition. There will be kids from Indiana playing travel baseball, going to All Star basketball camps, going to football camps and playing every sport including Lacrosse. No rules broken. The only issue would be if a high school coach actually coaches his kid at camp. So before this becomes 16 pages of blasting everyone who cheats to win, or is inconsiderate of the athletes, or skirts(I love that word) the rules, those are the facts straight from Robert this AM. Now will kids miss due to it being moratorium. Sure. If my kid decides to go he will miss it due to vacation. But I also understand that due to a strange calendar year and Fargo being moved up the camp dates are conflicting no matter how you set it up.
