I think you're looking at it backward. They DO have strict eligibility rules. If you have a player that has moved to your district, you must prove they didn't do it for athletics. Granted - 90% of these moves are players that no one is going to challenge or bring to the UIL's attention - and SOME of those did actually move for athletics. But when a blue chipper moves from urban Houston to live in rural Odessa - it gets noticed.
By the way... how do you, from your far-away spot long distant from any of this back story that you're hearing today for the first time, make the assumption that a policy that has evolved over about 30 years is "knee jerk"?????
