Recently, I just found out that a student-athlete at
one public school is transferring to another public school and most likely
will play football at the incoming school. But where is the loyalty to
the aforementioned school? Typically in most powerhouse football
states such as Texas, Illinois, California, Ohio, and Florida the rules
state that if any student-athlete transfers to another school - then that
athlete must sit out an entire calendar year before playing in any sport.
So why would a student-athlete transfer to another school...just to play on
a winning team?
9/5 Good luck to all the teams
in the Philadelphia area on their first weeks games.
