Does Melhoff play anywhere else on offense?

 

Croz, answer a question for me if you can: I think I am correct on this - if a kid transferes to a private school, as is FCS, and there is no change in physical address, the kid can play immediately. Now, if a kid transfers from a private school or a public school without a change in physical address, to a public school, the kid has to sit out a year. If this analogy is correct, please explain.

I am not Croz, but will explain the transfer rule the best that I can. If a student/athlete has an athletic record at school A (which is a public school) and transfers to school B (which is a private school), then he/she must reside outside of a 20 mile radius (as the crow flies) of school B and move inside of that radius in order to become eligible. For example, lets say a student lives next door to Gordonsville High School and moves to Lebanon and wants to attend Friendship, then he/she is ineligible because it is not outside of the 20 mile radius. But, this same student/athlete would be eligible to attend and play immediately at Lebanon High School. Now going from a school B to school A would bring about the same radius rule to become eligible. It is easy to remain eligible if you move from public to public, but not public to private or private to public. Scooter, please don't think for a minute that the private schools have some kind of advantage with regards to this rule because they most certainly do not. The rule is a bunch of garbage.
