do some orlando sentinel research.  the moffett guy brought 10-15 kids, tfa had over 30 transfers.  the kids started particpating in spring ball, but were not enrolled in tfa.  then they attended summer workouts and were not enrolled in tfa,  he was also the main catalyst at winter park, as ray said above.  he got them in trouble a couple times.  took 7 starters from timber creek 1 year, day before fall season started.  illegal addresses, no home at the address, just a mailbox, all from a 2nd coach on the winter park team who ownd a real estate business..... when questioned(fhsaa has relased this, its a simple search) the kids all said coach moffett told me to come here..... those 30 transfers dont even really go to tfa, they are enrolled in the school, but are housed in a portable and doing florida virtual school 2 days a week to keep up with being able to graduate(hearsay, i dont know it to be 100% true, know someone who was around the program last fall).

It is in cruel jest that some FHSAA investigator making six figures, driving a luxury company vehicle up to a trailer or public housing knocking on the door to tell some high school student that the punishment for trying to pull his family out of poverty is athletic ineligibility, essentially crushing his primary chance to escape poverty and change the trajectory of his family’s life for years to come.    you can disagree with what I’m saying, but please spare me any moral lecture about wanting to do right and what’s best for student athletes, especially ones in extreme need. 

So crazy to me. Some kid can live in extreme poverty, and is offered a way to completely change the dynamic of his family’s living situation for the better while at the same time enhancing his education, and increasing his access to a free college education.    And the response from people almost exclusively more well off than him and his family is, is NO!!!! You must stay in a failing school, in extreme poverty, and decrease the chances of college with the hopes of creating generational wealth!!!! ”But why sir?? Why can’t I help me and my family for decades to come?”    “Because peasant, the high school you are leaving might not win as many football games without you stuck in your vicious cycle!!!!!”

Is this a common sense question or should we be getting an "EXPERT" in here to tell us the answer?

Responding to Nolebull's comment with an SAT-like question for everyone on this board: Here's the scenario (and I'm making it as blatantly obvious as I can):  Assistant coach for Local High School ("LHS") identifies a rising junior skill position player from another high school that the LHS coach believes could be a real difference-maker for his team.  The LHS coach pulls the kid aside after a 7-on-7 tournament and starts extolling the virtues of LHS and telling the kid what a great fit the kid would be.  He then meets up with the kid's parents and offers them housing right down the street from LHS.  He then tells them he can make arrangements for the kid's mom to get a new "job" at the car dealership owned by former LHS quarterback and long-time LHS booster, Rooster Calhoun, who took LHS to the state championship game back in 1974.   In short, the coach commits what everyone and their brother could only describe as 'recruiting,' and extends an offer of what everyone and their sister could only conclude would be 'impermissible benefits.'  And the kid and his family members willingly participate in the recruitment process and, ultimately, gladly accept the benefits.  Who should be punished: A.  The assistant coach. B.  The head coach (and, yes, I was intentionally vague on whether the head coach participated in or had knowledge of the actions). C.  The school. D.  The kid. E.  All of the above.  Unlike the SAT, you are not limited to one answer.   Put down the letter for each one (unless you think all should be punished, in which event you can just put down "E").
