Official Declarations for Division 2

[orngnblk]

If your in a private school and move to public without moving you have to sit or if you are boarding at a private school and move to public then you are eligible to play right away too is the way I understood it. If you go public to private you are eligible to play right away.

GCA to go D2.

that makes no sense .. you mean to tell me a family puts their kid at say Knox Cath and are paying tuition and living in says Karns .. and the family come upon hard times and cant afford to pay the tuition that if he goes back to Karns he has to sit ???? Thats crazy ... but if he is a good player at Karns and Knoc Cath comes calling and his family decides to go to Knox Cath he doesnt have to sit a year ... that is the craziest thing I have ever heard ... a kid has to back to his community school becuase parents cant afford tuition and he has to pay the price by sitting a year ..... LOL .. it figures its the TSSAA

That is NOT how it works. If your child is at a private school and decides transfer to a public school your kid is eligible to play if it's your child's zoned school. The same goes for any athlete that doesn't attend their zoned public school and then decides to transfer to their zoned school, they can play right away. To transfer from a public school to a private school you HAVE to sit out unless you move and it has be a 20 mile move. Now with special education laws and NCLB, there are legal ways to move schools without sitting out but it has to be of a true academic nature and that doesn't apply on a public to private transfer just public to public.

Can't transfer from a private to a public if within 20 miles. Some waivers may be given depending on circumstances.

 

Last year Father Ryan had a player leave for Hendersonville but he was ineligible due to the mileage issue. He lost his Sr year and is now at Vandy.

Q, I think you're wrong on that one.

Q, I think you're wrong on that one.

I thought the move had to be 20 miles or more. I know if it's less then 20 miles you're sitting out. I miss the boat on that one

[chill]

It's the other part youre wrong about. No kid leaving a private school can go to their zoned public school and just be eligible. If an athletic record was established, they sit a year without a change of residence.

Public to private transfer involves 20 mile rule.

I assumed they could because we had a varsity basketball player transfer to Bearden and I was told he was on their varsity. I guess he won't be eligible then. Edited October 13, 2016 by QSouth89

LOL - I didn't read the article, but that was the biggest no-brainer in the state.

Notre Dame football has had several players for several years that don't pay tuition. To me, they were the poster child for the new rules separating.

You mean they have been cheating? LMBO
