A new rule concerning the transfer of student-athletes is closer to becoming reality after passing a second vote yesterday.
The PIAA Board of Control, the governing body of Pennsylvania high school athletics, passed the new rule by a 21-8 vote. It is the second time the rule has passed, and it must pass one more reading, by a two-thirds majority, in December before becoming part of the PIAA by-laws for the 2008-09 school year.
