But I don't think that has anything to do with eligibility. I think that is in general. I could be wrong.

That reads as if the player has a choice as to play both or simply chooses to play down.

If he is ruled ineligible, he has no choice other than going back to Brenham.

He could go non-UIL and play varsity

Right.

I just sent you a message via X.

UIL and All-State Committees are separate entities and neither have anything to do with the other.  So the UIL does not or cannot make a rule about an "All-State" player playing down.  Which "All-State" team would we use for judgement on this?  The AP All-State, Dave Campbells All-State, 247 All-State, or the Wink Local Newspaper All-State team?  All-State isn't a state-level honor.  It's not given by the UIL. 

Now, ethically, this would be frowned upon and I highly doubt that any coach in this state would take a 5A All-State Running back and let him carry the ball 20 times for a 2A-D2 JV team.  But, coaches will surprise you sometimes.  That wouldn't be very fun at all.  That's like letting Derrick Henry carry the ball for Aledo.  It just removes any real competition and no real fun in that match.

That policy is for players that are eligible to play varsity sports. It's not in play for players who are ruled ineligible for varsity sports. If they choose to stay at the school that they are ineligible for, they have to play JV if they were to play. No matter if they are all state or not.

UIL rules on transfers stink. if a parent wants their child to play at a different school, they should be allowed transfer immediately with the exception of no in season moves. No more sitting out a year garbage. Everyone wants school choice until it comes down to football. why would you want someone who doesn't want to be there? Parents move their kids for academics all the time. They don't make the kid sit out a year. So what if the move was for athletic purposes. If athletics is part of the school curriculum then parents should be able to put their kid in the best possible spot without any say so from the former school. This has got to stop. 

I agree. My daughter wanted to tryout to be a Flame and was initially told yes, but then told no cause during the tryouts, she wasn't a student of the district. I feel like they should of allowed  her to tryout and given me a deadline to have her enrolled. The issue was/is if she was to make it and end up not transferring, that was a spot a district student could have had. She took it like a champ and will tryout for next year, which is in January

I am not sure if this is a serious post or satire.

So kids should be able to roll into any school and tryout for a sport, wait to see if they make the team even if they do not go there, then transfer if they do? Or am I reading your post wrong?

Man, that would be awful. In smaller areas like SETX the ensuing free-for-all would lead to a handful of super teams leeching all of the talent around their surrounding areas, with lower classification football being crippled beyond repair. It would also turn into bribing and payment scandals.

Word is Dixon will be going private school route.

Saw the writing on the wall with trying to play at any UIL school this year.

My source said the DEC for Burton district said "no way Jose".

I don’t know where that would be.  Go to Bellville Faith and play 6 man?

What's wrong with that?  If you can move and put your kid into the best math program, why not for football or any other sport?

Maybe because academics is what school is for. Sports is extracurricular and not mandatory. It's a privilege, not a right.

Most do not want school choice.

Sports is not part of the curriculum. It's extra. One can go thru K-12 without playing any sports and graduate.. One cannot do that without taking some English or math class. 

That's the difference.

No, it's part of the curriculum. And let's drop the narrative that sports it's a privilege. If you're good enough you're going to play. Privilege is when you get something you haven't earned. Throw in the fact that kids get scholarships and NIL for athletics, if a parent wants to move to put their kid in a better program so they can get more exposure, the old school should not have any say so in them playing immediately. It's the parents call.  The UIL is dead wrong on this. If my son was still playing and a coach tried to stop him from sitting up for his new school, I would have sued. Look at what happened to the NCAA.  It's coming for the UIL.

Thank goodness you are not in a position of decision making for UIL high school athletics, because you would have sports programs folding left and right.

Sports is not part of the curriculum. You don't need it to graduate.

Why you think it is tells me everything about your viewpoint.

Way wrong. The school is responsible for providing an education. Not to monopolize on sports and NIL. Also, as a taxpayer I am not going to pay for your kid to come in and take advantage of what was built within the community. If your kid is that good, send them to IMG or a private school known for sports.

Everything is wrong with that. Especially you holding a quality education and a quality football team on equal footing. It's also worth noting that putting your kid into the best math program does not screw other kids.

Pretty much the same response I got from a WB and KTZ coach!

"Because a lot of rules can basically be bent or over ruled by the UIL at any time I’ve come to notice 😂"

Good old UIL everything is grey and keeps getting more grey!
