Transfers and high school sports
THS99 and 3 others reacted to Matthew328 for a topic
I think if you had true football capitalism it would not go the way you think it would go lol The process is imperfect because its based on human judgement which is imperfect and thats not taking into account the process where humans willfully aren't honest on the forms....BUT based on the rules today that opens the door for circumvention of the rules in place. If I were in charge I'd try to get rid of judgment as much as possible and make it black and white...no more transferring for athletic purposes questions on the form..its residency and residency alone...BUT I'd have more robust compliance arm of the UIL to check into residency questions and not leave that to the schools... The only question is..where do I come up with the money to pay the salaries of this compliance arm4 points -

I get out plenty and talk with many people in the coaching industry. I know exactly how wild the DFW area is with the transferring but my point is all these players were ruled eligible by all ruling committees. As for the complaining. My point was the vast majority of it comes from the team who loses to the team accused of cheating. Is it justified? To a point, yes. But knowing who some of you are on here that have posted or liked comments on this thread (including you) and what their school association is, my point has been proven. Like I stated before, policy needs improving.3 points -

I’m team limited government capitalism. It’s the team that has created more ‘haves’ than any other system in the world, and many—if not most—of those who think they’re ’have-nots’ would be ‘haves’ in much of the rest of the world.2 points -
High Island and UIL?????/High Island will be playing TCAL
wbfan and one other reacted to AggiesAreWe for a topic
Just spoke with an High Island school official. HI will be playing in TCAL for all their athletics. Doesn't mean that some of their athletic teams will not play UIL teams in non-district because they will play some of those schools. Just won't be participating in any districts in UIL athletics. High Island will have a varsity football team this coming season unlike last year. Will remain a 6 man football team.2 points -

I can agree with that last statement. I have stated that the coaches and local DEC's have to do better. The problem with DISD is they have become a "you watch my back and I'll watch yours" district.2 points -
Fairly simple for the coaches who are “sick of it”: 1. Regulate it through their membership on the DEC. 2. Don’t sign off on transfers. **The reason they don’t follow these steps is because they have similar in their own programs. Every school in Texas receives players and loses players.2 points

In regards to Faith Family, I think that's a case of apples and oranges. Charter schools should never be allowed to play UIL or at least have to play 6A. There is a reason why Faith Family no longer plays UIL. As for the Houston teams, that can be viewed as the same as SOC. But like I said, the complaining still came from the losing team. Personally, I didn't have much issue with Silsbee losing to Yates or Washington (we did beat them more than they beat us). I did have issue with Faith Family. They never belonged in UIL.2 points -
From the report as stated from an AI search: The report points to: Local government education lost about 50,000 jobs, which economists say was likely influenced by seasonal-adjustment issues rather than a wave of layoffs. Retail lost about 19,000 jobs. Financial activities lost about 14,000 jobs. Meanwhile, healthcare, construction, manufacturing, and information added jobs1 point

I am not "turning the other cheek". I said policy needs improving. Coaches and DEC need to be better. But the bottom line is the players are eligible according to the UIL and DEC. Football socialism??? LOL I think you are using the wrong analogy.1 point -
You've proved nothing except that you're hard headed. And we aren't the only team to get the shaft because of teams like them. and they aren't the only ones doing it. All of the teams who have that special talent that comes along once in a blue moon will have to settle for 2nd or 3rd because people like you just turn the other cheek. Oh well, they just didn't check the box. Cool. Enjoy watching the same Dallas teams win every year. That's what it's all about right? As long as the Dallas teams win every year it's all good. What a sad, weak argument you guys have. Football socialism is what we should call it.1 point

It's odd that you think complaints only come from the "losing team" - Do you live in a bubble world where you only exist on this site? Get out more. I've spoken numerous times about plenty of people all over the Dallas region who are sick of it and not all of them are on the "losing team" which I'm still not sure how that makes it any different. They also are not at all different than Faith and Family. It's the same thing to its core.1 point

A good start would be to remind people that government isn’t the solution. It’s the problem. Then, direct them to look at Libertarian candidates vs Democratic Socialists. A few more Rand Paul’s wouldn’t be a bad thing.1 point -

UIL Suspends Gainesville HC for All of 2026
tvc184 reacted to navydawg31 for a topic
They all don’t have to be suspended at one time. They easily could stagger the suspensions amongst all the coaches. For an example OC week 1 DC week 2 ST Week 3 all the way to position coaches on how many coaches they have overlap and be down 2 coaches 1 week. Plus mandatory UIL rules training and being placed on a 2 year suspension or something. Thats method won’t kill the program or anther teams program at all.1 point -

I guess the question would be if all the coaches are suspended wouldn't that hurt the kids and potentially other programs?1 point -

Don’t let football take all the shine Volleyball is underway as well! Not sure on what coverage area teams will be good this year… I know Hardin Jefferson most likely have one of if not the best player in the golden triangle as a freshman this season. I look forward to HJ to be solid over the next few years. From our standpoint over here in Austin County Bellville should be Bellville again lol1 point

Being the head coach of two sports back to back is not good. One of the sports will get the short end of the stick for sure. But this late in the game they most likely had no choice.1 point -
OH BOY - U.S. economy unexpectedly lost 23,000 jobs in July
DCT reacted to OpEpsteinFury for a topic
At least the stock market is up The change in total nonfarm payroll employment for May was revised down by 66,000, from +129,000 to +63,000, and the change for June was revised down by 37,000, from +57,000 to +20,000. With these revisions, employment in May and June combined is 103,000 lower than previously reported. (Monthly revisions result from additional reports received from businesses and government agencies since the last published estimates and from the recalculation of seasonal factors.)
