Thanks for the clarification guys. Four Kansas kids at GCCC makes me sad. The Jayhawk Conference have won three of the last 10 national championships, I don't think another conference has more in that time frame. So I'm perplexed as to why the schools pressured this change.
This rule is bad for Kansas high school kids and the D1 and D2 schools in the state. It's gonna be great for the NAIA schools in the state though.
The football coach at Garden thought he was at a competitive disadvantage with other schools.

There are a whole bunch of other articles out there on the internet that can expound on the issue from his point of view.
Jeff Sims makes some fair points but he's a liar
“At some point, it became that on one side of it, if you were for the increase then you didn’t care about Kansas kids,” said Sims, who is in his second season. “That couldn’t be further from the truth. We will always keep promoting Kansas kids and will always be all about Kansas kids.
LOL, the first season without a restriction and he goes down to 4 Kansas kids.
And he's a race baiting opportunist. Wypipo constantly accuse black people fighting for civil rights as race baiting, but I've never seen anyone race bait to this extent, what a clown.
“The rules date back to the 1960s and 1950s and the problems they were having back then,” Sims said. “People can go back and do the research and find out why they were put in place, in the first place, and draw their own conclusions. But they’re only for football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball. I’ll leave it at that.
“I don’t think anybody is racist now, and that’s not their intent with this rule whatsoever. But I also don’t think they can stand up and say that trying to remove a rule that was put into place in 1965 is wrong.”
Later in August, 49 football players and Garden City coach Jeff Sims filed complaints with the NAACP, saying out-of-state restrictions were based on past discrimination against minorities.
Everyone should be offended by the implication and by this dude exploiting those kids for his personal gain.
