Sure you may have a few kids moving for athletic reasons that slip through. But how many people would actually move so their kid could attend a school for better athletics?
Are you serious? People don't move for sports? I can name at least six families from just one club that moved SPECIFICALLY for high school wrestling and MOST of them would tell you that was the case, if you asked them. They had various issues that prompted them to move, and all did it legally. I don't have any problem with moving for sports but why do we pretend that people don't? They do, in ALL sports. Ask the dads up north and they don't mix words about it, they moved for wrestling. If we had moved to a local school district I could say it was to live on a lake, get away from gangs, get some fresh air (whatever), but the reality is the only reason I would have moved there was for wrestling. Now in hindsight, not moving was probably a financial mistake on my part. We could have moved over and bought/built a big house on the lake on the Southeast side, played with the boats and jet skis for a few years, wrestled for a great coach and then sold the house when my son graduated ('06) for a big profit, before the market collapsed, and move back over near Mill Creek to be close to my office. Oh well, I guess we missed out...I call 'em as I see 'em.
