I think the only way a player should be able to transfer is on a legitimate move to another school district...but i would say make sure there is an official move of the entire family or immediate guardian of the kid/kids. then allow them that one time transfer rule to the school they moved to that district of but allow them to play that year. however, if they move again, they will have to sit regardless of the reason that way we do not have kids playing at 4 schools in a 4 year span trying to seek a championship team.

and im saying allow them to play even if the official move is only across town but land in another school district. So if a riverdale player moved to Oakland school zone, that player can qualify for the one time move...but after that he will have to sit if the family moves again anywhere in the state of TN regardless of miles moved!

When the NIL hits all a kid will have to do is take the TSSAA to court and goodbye transfer rule.

I think this would be the best way to go.

Me to. Things happen, sometimes bad things and kids need to change schools and/or residences. No way I’d support punishing a kid in Such a situation just because he had already transferred once. I truly hope that the one time transfer rule is in addition to the current rules and not in place of them.

1. Roll Call...

4. 2023 Regional Meetings

   a-k...
 
 l. Voted to table potential changes to the existing transfer rules until they have further conversations with members of the state legislature and gather further information from member schools as to which option they would prefer if a change were to be made.

It’s coming whether we like it or not..in one form or fashion there will be changes.  

Yeah. I know.  It has the potential to shred HS athletics.  I can see it now.  The little 8th grader who could run circles around everyone goes to high school.  Doesn’t play as a freshman.  Mommy and Daddy  thinks they have the next Patrick Mahommes. Next thing we see is a Facebook/Twitter/TikTok:  “I have entered the high school portal.”

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • 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.
