The bylaw is below, what is interesting is whats highlighted. Basically, this says that the KHSAA makes the rules but doesn't have to allow eligibility even if the exceptions (Bonafide Change of Residence) is met.

The Ruling Officer and Commissioner have discretion (but are not required) to waive the period of ineligibility set forth above if one or more of the following exceptions in Section 2 has been met.

Sec. 2) Discretionary Exceptions for Waiver
a) BONAFIDE CHANGE IN RESIDENCE- The period of ineligibility may be waived if there has been a bonafide change in residence by the parents and student that precedes a student’s change of schools.
For purposes of this bylaw, a bonafide change of residence means the moving of the permanent residence of the entire family of the student and the student’s parents from one school district or defined school attendance area into another school district or defined school attendance area prior to a change in enrollment of the student. A student who becomes emancipated does not have a bonafide change of residence by virtue of his or her emancipation and change of residence for purposes of this bylaw.
