Jambun82 said: "No rules regarding the message board. The same "rules" that kept the NCAA sham of "student athletes" alive for many years when it was obvious that these "rules" were Unconstitutional. The "rules" that many posters think should govern High School Sports. "Rules" that I have exposed, called out, and laid bare for many years!"      Jambun, watching you try to lecture this board on constitutional law is like watching a blind side-judge try to signal a touchdown on a safety. You are tossing around grand, uppercase buzzwords like "Unconstitutional" to make your points sound definitive, but you are completely tripping over basic civics. Let's look at the actual ledger of your argument, because your legal history is entirely hollow: 1. The U.S. Constitution Doesn't Care About Private Bylaws You claim the NCAA "rules" were "Unconstitutional." Sir, the NCAA is a private, voluntary, collegiate athletic association—not a branch of the federal government. The United States Constitution protects citizens from government overreach, not from the tournament eligibility bylaws of a sports organizer. When the old amateurism model was finally dismantled by the Supreme Court in the landmark Alston case, it wasn't a First or Fourteenth Amendment constitutional ruling. It was a Sherman Antitrust Act violation. The High Court didn't say, "NCAA, you are violating these players' constitutional rights." They said, "You are operating an illegal, anti-competitive wage-fixing cartel in the labor market." Learn the difference between antitrust law and constitutional law before you grade the paper. 2. High School Sports Are a Privilege, Not a Constitutional Right Even if you try to pivot and argue that state athletic associations like the FHSAA act as "state actors"—which courts sometimes consider them to be—state courts across this country have historically given them immense leeway to enforce zoning, transfer, and eligibility guidelines to maintain competitive balance. No high school athlete has a "constitutional right" to play a varsity sport wherever or whenever they choose. The judiciary has ruled time and time again that high school athletics are a privilege, not an entitlement. 3. Your Own Logic is Trapped in a Legal Contradiction But the real comedy here is the glaring contradiction in your own position. You are standing at the bottom of the page banging your drum, screaming about how arbitrary "rules" are a sham and a restriction on players. Yet, in this exact same thread, you are vigorously defending SB 538—a piece of legislation that explicitly contains a rigid, state-mandated transfer rule that locks kids into one school per calendar year and bans mid-season jersey swapping. By your own logic, if rules restricting player movement are an "unconstitutional sham," you should be absolutely furious that Tallahassee just codified a mid-season transfer lock into actual state law! Instead, you are cheering for the bill because you only look at the $15,000 headline and completely ignore the structural legal ledger of the text. You can't have it both ways, detective. You can't call rules an unconstitutional sham while celebrating a bill that tightens the rules on player movement. Put your gavel away, look at the scoreboard, and make sure your legal logic is zipped up before you post. Because right now, you are completely out of bounds.

Appreciate the explanation Laz!

I4,  You are exactly correct. The numbers I used come from a "weighted" moving average from 1999 thru 2025 that are weighed heavily over the past 5 years performance and weighed even more heavily over the past 3 years with even heavier emphasis on last season. 

Thats their plan but we will see what happens with them during the summer 

Thank you, and you're welcome.
