Yeah, but they play for a second time and draw OK maybe only 25,000 this time. They could use the proceeds from that second game for all the scholarships they're giving and the new dorm rooms.

A few thoughts 1. Excuse me to all my female friends and fellow teachers of the game in the "minor" sports but if anyone thinks this is about anything but football you are sadly mistaken. The bottom line is most people out there could care less about volleyball, cross country, golf, tennis or soccer. Sure, those athletes work just as hard as the others but in the whole scheme of things they don't mean a great deal to anyone unless you - or your child - plays them. This is about 4-A football - and only that because no private school dominates basketball the way they do on the gridiron. 2. Why is Meade County so hot and bothered by this issue right now? Just curious because is there even a private school near there? 3. I for one think this might pass this time. I'd hate to see if because it would ruin a good thing. But in education there's a difference when the superintendents get involved. They have more pull. How would you like to be a principal or AD and have your boss tell you to vote for it or even suggest it and then you not and it comes out. Ouch! 4. Bottom line is if it happenes and privates go out on their own. Watch out. Can you imagine some of the things that could happen without the KHSAA rules and those schools having a private school league. Wow! Micheal Bush and Sergio Spencer could have both been on that same team with Brohm and McBroom and I guarantee the private schools basketball programs would get drastically better if that happened!

Wow! Took me an hour to get to the bottom of this thread. Now, I am the usually one of the first to question the KHSAA in a lot of instances. But this for one I can't find them at fault. They went by the rules and said Mitchell was ineligible. The local court gave Mitchell the injunction and then it was overturned. Don't for one second think the KHSAA had any dealings for when the ruling would be overturned. I know for a fact even after the postseason they have continued a few cases in the past. So they likely would have continued this and had it come down next week Highlands might have been 0-15. Now I have to get back because I'm sure there's already another 25 posts to read. Man guru, this thread is gonna keep me awake!
