Will the opportunity to save $10K+ per year cost Jesuit and the other private schools a few top players.
Which schools stand to benefit?
From what i heard if you transfer schools; you still have to play sports for the school you transferred from. This is suppose to discourage recruiting and developing power programs.
I don't know if this is accurate but will be interesting

I don't understand how this could be enforced? Can someone who knows please elaborate or provide a link to further information. Thanks.

My experience comes from other states with respect to this. There, the schools had to report and keep track of transfer students. A student who transferred had to sit out ONE year of sports if they were transferring within a district. Outside of a district, I don't believe the rule applied, however there may have been a distance guide to help determine if a transfer was "legitimate" or not. Certainly a kid who was moving 50 miles would not have to sit out a year but one that was moving from one school to another school that was just a few miles away, then that was scrutinized.
The first level of enforcement was done at the school and district/league level. If it was determined that someone did not report a transfer to the state and did not attempt to enforce the rules was in violation and penalties to that program could be assessed. In some states, California for example, recruiting is common.
In a similar situation we had a student/athlete transfer to our school from another school within the district. She did not have to sit out a year. Interesting. Would it matter if the student was an incoming freshman, sophomore, junior or senior?
In general, I don't think it is an issue unless your child is a "star" player in which case I think it will be scrutinized more.
I think open enrollment has been available at PIL schools for some time. I don't know how it is not, but historically state champ teams from PIL for hoops drew alot of players that lived in the boundaries of another PIL HS.
I don't think it can be really enforced, but transferring school is discouraged. I guess they can penalize a coach for recruiting.

It may take a few years as OSAA is still requiring that players transferring after they start High School to sit out a year BUT incoming freshman are not restricted.
So if you are a top level 8th grader you now have a choice to pursue your athletic and academic career.
Consequently Jesuit might not get ALL of the best athletes!
