I feel ya bro. I keep trying to find a way to make myself understand it and you did a good job helping me then my mistake I thought about it more 😂 That's when I came up with the rule states sit out last five games PLUS the playoffs. So that's a total of 12 games ,5 regular season plus playoff max of 7 so if we played 4 playoff while he was enrolled at Massillon and they count as games towards him sitting out 12-4 is 8 so he should owe 8 games sitting out. 1 regular season plus the 7 possible playoff. I'm done with it 😂 I'll just wait and see this season. He will either sit out the first game and be good to go or he will sit out the first game play the last 9 and sit during the playoffs.

Unless things have changed, they don't.

He participated at SVSM last year. Therefore, he is ineligible after week 5 this year unless he meets one of the exceptions.
 
All this is stupid. Why must a move be 50 miles or more? How do you define "competed"? Why can't he play in a scrimmage? IMHO, you can argue about how to handle an in-season transfer with regards to the current season, but a kid should have full eligibility for the following season.

With regards to this specific case: Why only one week? If he transferred right before the McKinley game, that's only one game. Shouldn't he miss the first 4 weeks?

And why is it that if he transfers the day before his week 10 game, he is eligible for the playoffs next year, but if he transfers the day after he isn't?

Question: what is the penalty for using an ineligible player in a scrimmage? Why would there be one at all? It's a scrimmage; it doesn't matter.

BTW, this is a new Bylaw. How new? I dunno, but it didn't exist a couple of years ago. Previous versions referred only to ineligibility for the current season; there was no penalty for the following season.

Only the supreme masters of the OHSAA can comprehend the sacred transfer rules.

This part says regular season and post season constitute a sports season.

For purposes of this bylaw, “sport season” shall be determined by the sports regulations for that sport,
beginning with the first date on which coaching may begin and concluding on the last date the school into
which the student transferred (or at the school where the student is now permitted a participation opportunity)
participates in a contest (regular season or postseason).

This example they give just uses regular season games, no playoffs.


Student transfers from school A to school B after competing in 7 regular season varsity
football contests at School A. Student does not meet one of the two exceptions to
Bylaw 4-7-3.
▪ At school B, student is ineligible for remaining 3 regular season football contests and the
OHSAA tournament.
▪ During next football season, student is ineligible for all scrimmages/jamborees/previews
and regular season contests until regular season game 3 (in other words, student is
ineligible until 2 regular season contests are competed).
▪ Student regains eligibility, with regard to transfer, for remainder of regular season and
OHSAA tournament in the sport of football.

So if he moved here before week10, he sat 4 games. Has to sit 1 more to meet the requirement of 50%.

I give up trying to figure it all out. If they go by where it says if he played somewhere else last season it says he sits out last five games PLUS playoffs. If him being here and us playing 4 playoff games and they count as his sit games he still owes 1 regular season and all of the playoffs. We will have to see if he sits one game or if they keep him out for payoffs as well like it says. Im not even sure why I was over thinking for a kid that sounds like he's going to be a supporting role player on offense and not even a starter.
 
With the new OC being a former Massillon grad it's going to be interesting to see what type of offense he brings in. Also the potential new DC is going to shock a lot of people if it comes to fruition.

Going to be very interesting, he definitely got some good experience at Ashland and learned from some great offensive minds.

Please don't tell me Wakefield OR, God forbid, McDaniels. Also, What's the real story behind Alex Wood's exit?
On a completely different subject, I believe our beloved puppies are going to be using Tyrrell's philosophy of "complete radio silence" that way you can get away with anything. You won't realize what's happening until the four star linemen steps onto the field . Even tho our program attempts this, it will never work at Massillon with all us loud mouths😁

McKinley people can't keep quiet either. It was a Mck person last year who revealed the Texas connection.

Hoban is never quiet either, everyone knew about the WV QB and the RB they have this year from PA and it was never quiet with the Feister bros either. It’s 2025 nothing is ever quiet on social media.

A Decade of Dominance sounds like a good headline.
