I wonder why it is so hard (seemingly) for the FHSAA to tighten up its too-loose transfer rules?

Hey y'all, it's your boy comin' atcha from behind the Publix customer service counter—yeah, the one where I done seen more drama than a Friday night under them lights. Noimsayin? Been slicin' deli meat and handlin' returns all week, but this Charlotte Tarpons news got me grinnin' like I just hit a parlay on a three-team teaser.So boom, word drops yesterday—after four years, they tellin' Cory Mentzer, Tarpon alum and all, to "quietly resign" and bounce. Man went 6-5 this year, made playoffs three times outta four, overall 19-23... ain't exactly trash, but ain't Binky Waldrop days neither. Then dude hits social media with that Jesus and Judas post, talkin' 'bout betrayal at the table you broke bread at. Sound like some booster meetin' gone wrong, noimsayin? Remind me of back in the day growin' up in the hood—folks smilin' in your face while plottin' your exit. Heavy, man.But the real kicker? Them Port Charlotte Pirates been straight whuppin' that ass across the Peace River. 0-4 under Mentzer in the rivalry, includin' a 35-7 beatdown this fall. Pirates went all the way to state semis in 4A, first region title ever. Charlotte used to own that series 36-5 before this skid—now it's like the river done switched directions. Youth leagues down here feedin' more kids to Port Charlotte, and yeah, some top talent been transferrin' over too. Seen it with my own eyes, athletes packin' up for greener grass (or pirate ships, whatever).Now here's the juicy part got me chucklin' like Ron White after a fifth of scotch: Over in Fort Myers, legend Sam Sirianni Jr. hung it up last month after 40 years—175 wins, family dynasty since the '60s. Their OC? Justin Midgett, Charlotte Tarpon thru and thru, former stud QB who set all kinda passin' records back in the day, even signed with the Gators. Word is, four years ago when they picked Mentzer over him for the head job (after Wade Taylor's quick stint post-Binky), some folks wasn't happy. Now Sirianni gone, Fort Myers gotta name a successor... but what if Charlotte power brokers thinkin', "Hold up, let's snag our boy home before they lock him down"? Timing suspicious as hell, like when I "accidentally" bet the over on a game I knew was fixed—wait, scratch that, hypothetically speakin'.I done chased worse long shots in my life—strippers with "daddy issues," drunk divorcees at the VFW, you name it. Lost more money gamblin' on flea flicker plays than I care to admit. But this? This could be a winner. Bring Midgett back, inject that alum fire, stop the bleed to Port Charlotte, flip the rivalry. Or... Fort Myers keeps him and Charlotte regrets it twice. Either way, popcorn ready.What y'all think? Panic fire 'cause Pirates ownin' the county, or smart rebuild? Spill the tea, fellas—insider info welcome, just keep it cleaner than my dating history.Go football in the Sunshine State—best damn HS ball in the country, noimsayin?

More than a few of these "rogue renegades who win at all costs" have done so at the expense of some once really good programs.  Once they get a taste of their own medicine they will be the loudest wanting reform to the transfer policies of FHSAA.  Some might even want in SSAA,  to which I say no. 

Hardee, Desoto,  Okeechobee have been forced to play up a class in football for years. This is because of the large migrant farm worker population that's here in the fall and gone by spring. FHSAA says we have to count them. Because the leave as soon as the oranges get picked,  they're counted as drop outs, which is why we have a high drop out rate. We've been fighting this for decades. 

Happy to help.
