There are some legal issues going on. Tate has been given a blanket release to transfer if he choses

I have never heard of anything even close to a "blanket release". You dont even have to have a release to get eligible. I know of players that had them and was ruled against them, and others that had them that had to sit out a year. Where in the KHSAA rule book does it talk about a blanket release?

All Tate has to do is show a change of address and if no one objects or replies to the transfer(aka Stepps) The KHSAA rarely looks any deeper and approves the transfer or on aappeal you can show you lived in the district and went to the other school for a time, most of the time the appeal is granted as long as the student has lived in the district.(aka Knott Co). So if ruled inelgible he will win on appeal because he never left the Knott district if he wants to attend Knott, little more complicated for Hazard or Shelby Valley without a change of address. But if Tate leaves I am sure mom and dad are going to, so there will be a change of address.

The tricky part is that he shouldnt have to have a change of address to get eligible if he lives in the school district that he will be transferring to. I think the rule book needs to be updated or amended to cover situations like these.
