Deep Dive: Utah legislators look at proposal to make high school athlete transfers easier

High school athletics are serious business for students looking to have a career in sports. But one Utah lawmaker says there's a transfer portal atmosphere in high school sports, and he's trying to close some loopholes. State Representative Jon Hawkins' bill would have redefined the restrictions placed on transfers, and stopped high school athletes from getting paid to play. But the pushback against the bill turned out to be too much.
