"The bill, which was voted on 36-0, will allow high school seniors this year the ability to stay on and have an extra year of school in 2021-22. Included in that provision is an additional year of eligibility for athletics."

Will any Tennessee kids in border counties be able to take advantage of this? What are the ramifications of KY teams playing out of state. Do you want your 14 year old playing against a 20 year old? This gives new meaning to "goin' back to Harlan". - RR

This is going to be very problematic for a lot of teams that have games scheduled in Kentucky. I wonder if the TSSAA will step in and shut those games down. It is ultimately their responsibilty to look out for the well being of the players, even though that's hard to believe sometimes.

This makes me feel bad for the kids who was waiting for their chance to start

Plus, many players get recognized during their senior years as far as college scholarships go.  I can see both sides of this issue.  If my kid lost his season year and didn't get his chance to shine and possibly earn a scholarship, I'd be all for the extra year.

Yea it’s a catch 22. Just wondering how will they handle it if players from other states try to move in.

Absolutely ridiculous idea.  Hinders the kids a class behind.  Prioritizes Athletics over academics.  The epitome of poor decision making.  

 

NCAA screwed incoming freshman out of opportunities by granting an extra year, so KY screws Juniors out of playtime.  Why not allow every 8th grader to reclass while we're at  it.

 

Morons.

It’s for every grade level in KY. The caveat is that the kid cannot turn 19 before August 1st and had to be enrolled in a KY school district when the 20-21 school year began. 
 

If your school district doesn’t allow for this, then you CANNOT transfer to another school district that may allow it. 
 

Still has to go through the House. If the House passes it then the Governor has to sign off on it. Still not a sure bet.

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
