Raiola on the move - again

If he was going to have to sit out 5 games. My questions are.
1. do we even care. I know its the off season. news is news. im obviously talking about it as well.
2. when he originally transferred to arizona, did they know he would have to sit out?
3. I haven't the slightest how you can just keep transferring high schools. are they buying houses in the county/town where the high school is? if so, must be nice to have that kinda money.

Looks like they went 11-1 last year with their loss being in the second round of playoffs.

I’m sure certain rules have certain exceptions when it helps benefit the greater good of the state.

Imagine being #1 qb thinking you're finally getting your chance after putting in tons of work in the offseason, only to find out the number 1 h.s. qb decided to transfer to your school, and you have .0001% chance of being the starter.
I bet the previous #2 at Pinnacle is feeling pretty damn good this morning
 
OK, just for a little reality.

He went to Burleson High School in Texas for 2 years. His sister was playing VB at TCU, the family moved there, the whole group lived in Texas. They all moved to Arizona. Not sure why they picked Arizona, but they did, Chandler had a good program. Now the whole family is moving to Georgia, sans maybe the daughter, I would guess she would be getting on with her own life.

So this will "only" be his 3rd high school to play for.

Now, there is a rule in Arizona that states you can't transfer for athletic purposes. There was to be a hardship hearing to see if they could move from Chandler HS to Pinnacle without penalty. Turns out the family didn't want to wait to see if there would be the 5 game penalty for an improper transfer. So they moved to Georgia instead. Now they should have been aware that there was the possibility of a penalty when they decided to move the boys from Chandler to Pinnacle, but for whatever reason they attempted the transfer anyway.
 
I believe the new school in GA will be his 4th. He played for 2 of 3 prior....but this is #4
Again, played at Burleson his freshman and soph years, then moved to Arizona for 1 year and played at Chandler for his junior year. Announced he was transferring to Pinnacle, never made it because of the chance of the 5 game suspension. Never played a down there. Will now play his senior year at Buford.

Texas to Phoenix I kind of get. Switching to the 2nd Phoenix school and then Georgia raises red flags for me. That's taking no loyalty to the extreme. Also questionable decision making by everyone involved. Not a big deal to the Raiola's but that is playing mind games with the players on those teams.

I love the Raiolas but Dom was never exactly a stable personality.

I cam still see him taunting the kst fans in Manhattan prematurely then we choke the game away and lose
At the tail end of his career with the Lions I saw him get in to an altercation.with his own O line coach behind their bench. Not sure what triggered it but teammates jumped between them before his shoves turned to punches. His coach dwarfed him.
