UIL approves proposals aimed at addressing 'complex' eligibility challenges
Welcome to a special Tuesday morning edition of the High School Sports Insider newsletter.
Yesterday was a significant day for schools across the state as the University Interscholastic League passed several proposals aimed at what deputy director Jamey Harrison defined as "remarkably complex challenges" when it comes to student-athlete eligibility.
Perhaps the biggest measure passed was granting the UIL State Executive Committee the authority to investigate schools with inordinate numbers of transfer students who intend to compete in sports. It appears to be aimed at cracking down on athletes changing schools for athletic purposes.
Read more about the other proposals that were passed.
