At Monday’ CIF State Federated Council meeting, where all state-wide CIF rules are adopted or amended, the Trinity League proposal that would delete “athletically motivated” language from transfer rules did not pass. Thus, a transfer that is determined to be athletically motivated in whole or in part could cause a student-athlete’s eligibility to be denied at his or her new school.
The CIF-Southern Section has lessened its emphasis on that athletically motivated angle in recent months — as it should. Every transfer could be looked upon to be athletically motivated, even a little bit. Let the kids play!
Also, a proposal to change the structure of the CIF State Championship Bowl Games did not pass, so the selection process and number of teams selected will be unchanged. The Regionals Round of the state football playoffs is in place this year and next year as a two-year pilot program.
More news from the OCVarsity blog:
Haleigh Hampton, a 6-foot-7 senior middle blocker, has begun the process of transferring to Huntington Beach. She was All-Southwestern League last year at Temescal Canyon, in Temecula. Temescal Canyon athletic director Mark Williams described Hampton as potential future Olympian. Details in the Fryer column at ocvarsity.com later today, and in the OC Register on Wednesday.
The CIF-Southern Section confirmed that a Dominguez High representative asked the section office to take a look at the transfer of boys basketball player Keala King from Dominguez to Mater Dei.
