I definately agree with Hawks Coach on this one.

With all of the different leagues and state associations, it can get far too difficult for the officials to know or even care about all of the eligibility rules. Leave these up to the league/state office, where they have people to research these situations.

Before you know it, you'll have opposing coaches saying "#15 is ineligible because he flunked a history test today! .
