Thanks. I live in Texas and I am pretty familiar with the UIL (Texas’ equivalent to the NSAA) rules. That scenario would never happen in Texas. I am curious why the NSAA thought it was a good idea.
Probably has to due with some schools being very small and rural and not having the same opportunities on the field and the classroom. I know Texas also has many small schools also but here in Nebraska more than 65% of schools are class C or smaller that is the last number I heard so I could be off a bit
They talked about this on Husker Online podcast. The rules are different, this isn't an issue going to Millard South. They also mentioned he planned to graduate early and enroll in January. So...I think he's envisioning commuting for a semester but making Lincoln his home base so he can hit the ground running. He could be wearing a uniform in the bowl game next year.
The scenario you just described sounds like a good plan and explains why he would Live in Lincoln and drive to Millard for that one semester
With two guys transferring in from out of state, you have to wonder how long it will be before other class A schools start complaining about this being unfair. Millard South is being compared to IMG, but if what I read is correct IMG doesn't compete for state championships with other teams.
IMG isnt, wasnt nor will be in a conference. Not true apples to apples. I'm sure Westside wouldnt turn it down.
That was their point IMG brings in kids from out of state, but does not compete with other in state schools for state championships. Millard South is competing with other schools and bringing in out of state kids that are tied to UN, which may well give them an unfair advantage in attracting high end talent from around the country.
Right, but that wasnt IMGs intentions. I think they initially tried but was refused. Thats not MS' origin or path.
There are plenty of complaints now about Friday night college games and leaving high school football alone. I'm thinking about the fairness to local players who's ultimate moment in football may be winning a high school championship. The competition should be as fair as possible for those kids, and I can see why people might complain.
