WIAA can’t actually govern the ins and outs of every move so basically if you can make it appear on paper that you live somewhere they don’t have the resources to prove otherwise. Also proving hardship has become a joke because quite literally if you create a hypothetical that’s convincing enough you’ll be allowed to transfer.
I know families that have just rented places for a month on paper got a utility bill in their name in that time frame and BAM!! You got residency. WIAA doesn’t need more than that it’s not like they check back in or even go knocking on doors. And this way provides you with skipping forfeiting 40% of your season!!!
You think Tahoma, Orting, Sumner, etc etc etc are just getting lucky with the Talent they get? That’s a Fat 0% all the good schools have feeder programs at the youth levels that feed in a hand full of USA Clubs that push those kids back into those schools regardless of address. A coach, a AD, a school wants you bad enough they’ll find a way to get your kid in the door and gladly take that seat away from someone else to do it to.
Behind closed doors everybody whose winning is cheating to do it period, it’s not even about athlete development it’s about what do I need to do to build a team to put trophies in those cases.
To answer your question on the pedo stuff!! Yes USA sports & WIAA cover up and hide predators. You look at this states level of commitment to invade girls sports with boys that have a mental disorder & think they are girls & in one case a sexual assault happens in puyallup my home and only now are those in charge being held accountable. We have refs through out this state that have been accused of rape, coaches with a past of sexual harassment or physical abuse, some of whom run clubs coach high school teams. I mean we see it with coaches at the college level here being removed for fraternizing with females on campus.
Now calling people out is fine but most people don’t want to because it’s not convenient for them. Change only happens when we collectively agree something isn’t right & unfortunately we haven’t reached that yet. All I know is if it was your daughter or son something happened to you would actually stand up and cause a scene and wonder why no one else stood with you because most everyone is cowards
