One way to level the playing field would be to get rid of the transfer rule. If CH has the resources to bring in transfers from out of the area, then let all the schools bring in transfers regardless of previous school or geographic locations. There are probably 9th and 10th graders on rosters all over the MIAA that would transfer for any number of reasons, but because of the rule, playing even a little bit on varsity penalizes a 9th or 10th grader, while a kid that has only been on JV can transfer anywhere they want.

The smaller MIAA schools like St. Pauls, Boys Latin, STM, Severn, etc. would probably all benefit. Schools like CH, Loyola, Gilman & McD are so big that there are bound to be kids that would move if they could for both lax and academic reasons.
