Simple as that.
You just have to apply for eligibility and make sure its cleared in enough time to where they can be playing at the start of the year. Sometimes people wait UNTIL someone questions it. You need to be cleared and good to go in the summer and being it up yourselves.
Im curious if this is ever going to come to a head though. Eventually this will be blown up at a state wide level.

Well the KHSAA will never be able to bypass the court system.
The injunctions require proof of "irreparable damage" if the kids don't get to play - and for most of them it's easy to prove because being forced to sit out could mean they don't get the scholarship they could get if they play.
For this to be stopped, a higher court would have to overrule one of these injunctions and set a precedent.

Another thing is that we wouldn't be having this conversation if these kids weren't any good at basketball. If these kids were talented musicians, good actors, artists, students, etc., they would be able to transfer and compete with the academic team or band competitions without a second thought - But because they are athletes they are treated differently. Even if these kids were basketball players that weren't any good, we wouldn't be talking about it right now.
