West Virginia Governor Jim Justice expressed his desire for state lawmakers to reconsider a recently enacted law pertaining to high school sports transfers.

"The vote was so significant in favor. I felt like it was a mistake," Justice said during his weekly media availability."I felt like vetoing a bill only would have led to an override, which is a waste of time."

Justice, who as a longtime high school basketball coach won a girls state championship in 2012 with the help of some out-of-state transfers, said he is concerned thatwould end up with a handful of"super teams" through the transfer process. "We are going to destroy high school sports all across this state if we don’t watch out what we're doing," Justice said."It is a bad move. I don’t know any other way to say it. We should not have done this. And now we've got to live with it. So we need to revisit and come up with a better solution to what we’ve got."
