I like the new KHSSA rules, I think they are fair. It's not in the state's best interest financially to educate a kid additional years because they want to participate in athletics additional years or take a size/experience advantage in order to get a college scholarship. If you really need held back for academic reasons you shouldn't be engaged in additional activities anyway. Obviously no one can deny the lack of rule was abused in the past. Heck, I remember playing kids with full mustache's in the sixth grade 20 years ago. It's in effect next season, so if you held your kid back to "stay at home another year" or "to get an advantage at MS state championships" the reason doesn't matter.
