Two more points and then I'm done with this rule. Like anything government produces it is deeply flawed at best. First point is if Dixon's goal is to become a better football player, the resources at WVU will be a million times more beneficial than running up and down the field against Floyd Central. Not to mention academically being light years ahead of high school after a year on campus. And second I hope this isn't the case but seriously, will most of the seniors coming back for football be in a high school classroom the Monday morning following their last football game or will their lockers be empty? Will a lot not even do any school work at all, all year? I hope I'm wrong. It is what it is.

Having said all that I will be more glad to see football start back this fall than probably any year of my life.

I may be wrong but the way I understand the rule is that if a kid chooses to come back and repeat a grade then that year will count toward their academic status. It's basically like this covid school year did not exist. So they would not have the option to quit after the season because the couldn't graduate. Plus that wouldn't be smart to do if college is your goal.

All seniors this school year are getting their diplomas right? So they can go straight to college right? Nobody is telling seniors this year they can't enroll in college. The biggest Belfry boosters on here not addressing my post tells you all you you need to know.

No....my understanding is that if a senior is reclassifying...they are not going thru a graduation ceremony or the such.   They will do that NEXT year.   Cam Hergott (Mr. Kentucky Football) WALKED AWAY from a full ride to Akron to come back next season. (is that a bad decision?).    Dixon had a preferred walk on offer at WVU.   To each his own.  Some decide to move on.  Some aren't eligible to repeat.  Some are.   The young man wants to play another year.....and the state of Kentucky is giving him the opportunity to do so. He's eligible to do it.   Other than it benefitting BELFRY in the sense these kids impacted are coming back.....what's the big deal ??  There are several kids all over the region...and the state, taking advantage of the rule.   Non-athletes as well.    Neither you nor I know the inner workings that went into his decision.   Socialization?  Maturity?  Who knows.    All I know is this......he's a great kid, who has always been a great teammate.   I wish him...and the few others at Belfry who are reclassifying the best of luck.

Yes they can go thru graduation ceremonies and still come back. Not sure if that is up to the school districts or what, but the few schools that I know of you can still go thru graduation ceremonies.
