Here is a different scenario: Say I have a really fast soccer play and the track teams wants to borrow him for the region meet. Is that the same since he was a part of a different school program or would you view it as a similar situation as the academy?
I think it would be the same as the academy scenario. I guess depending on the program's rules about a player doing more than one sport during the season would apply. If a coach allows his fastest soccer player to run track meets as long as it doesn't interfere w/ soccer, then the player can run some track meets before the region meet that way he "qualifies" based on the requirements
