Football is a competitve sport.  Should be able to get the best kids you can regardless of where they are born.  Sims to mssu should be interesting.  I would bet he increases the talent level pretty quickly with his connections.  They have a long ways to go to compete with ft hays and northwest mo of the conference.  

The old rule was absolutely racist. If you're good, you play. I don't care where you were born. 

Putting it back in place would be more of that participation trophy-esque crap that no one can stand. 

A lot of KS HS coaches were upset because they felt that it hurt the kids from the state of KS, the kind of kids that Bill Snyder used to build up K-State, and now those kids arent going to get a look because those JUCO's are going to quit recruiting the state. The coaches feel that the community colleges are there to help the kids and communities in KS first. Again you have to understand that these coaches are trying to look out for the best interest of the kids they coach, just like the JUCO's are looking out for themselves by eliminating the rule. 

I dont think the rule was set in place with the intent to be racist, but again to try to get KS kids more opportunities to better themselves as a student-athlete. But again thats just my opinion if you feel it is racist I can understand why you feel that way, again I just dont think the intent of the rule was to be racist. 

As far as Sims to MoSouthern I dont see him being too successful. There is almost zero interest in their football team by the Joplin community, and from what I've heard making the football team competitive isn't very high on the schools admins priority list
