Ashleigh just recently finished going through the GHSA eligibility rules from 1979-2015.
Now that that is done, she and I are going to go through them to see if we notice any patterns.
More specifically, we will be looking for which rules change the most, which rules become more specific overtime, and if rules are added or deleted. Once we have noted the most prevalent of the previously mentioned, we can cross reference it with any athletic “scandals,” for lack of a better term, from the preceding year. That way, we will be able to see if any eligibility scandals directly influence by-law changes.
Furthermore, we can also make some graphs for those rule instances we feel are the most important and or have changed the most over time.
Lastly, we are going to do some research to see which counties/regions get the most transfers, what the transfer’s cited reason is and how strictly GHSA rules are enforced.
