So...punish the players who have already been assault victims? What the shit are you talking about?
MSU looks bad enough in the wake of the Nassar investigation. There is no need to exaggerate or spin a fact like this. Just sit back and wait for Engler to speak some more.
I'm a Dakota alum, c/o 2002. Not close to the program at all FWIW. It's amazing to see how dirty things have gotten, it's a real shame.
In the linked article, they cite the clause of the rule that was broken:
The MHSAA handbook has seven clauses that define an "athletically motivated" transfer, and Johnson said No. 7 specifically applied to Kithier's case. That clause reads: "The student seeks to participate with teammates or coaches with whom he/she participated in non-school competition during the preceding 12 months."
I think by the letter of the law, this is a pretty easy call and MHSAA got it right. However, it is also clear that schools regularly let these go uncontested, and it's a shitty move on Tocco's part to contest. MHSAA sounds about as plugged in as the NCAA.
Like I said, I'm not close to the program, but I'm not sure I buy that the move on Dakota's part is just to get back at Clarkston. They're not even in the same conference. I think it's just a butthurt transfer power play, I don't know why there has to be any more to it than that. Hopefully future incoming transfers to Dakota are blocked, if they want to start playing that game.

Yes we are in much better shape than Florida right now.
Not a narrative but annoying nonetheless.
"Holding the ball like a loaf of bread"
How do these announcers carry a loaf of bread in real life?!?
