No comments on the supreme court ruling that the LHSAA is a private entity and the State of La has no oversight? Seems like all the talk of using courts or legislation just went out the window


I think what that does is increase the chances of the LHSAA folding long term. Politicians can't step in and save it from itself now, and the privates are about to break off and start a new org where they're the majority.

Politicians that want to meddle will find a way to meddle. A more likely scenario is a court injunction that will tie the changes up at least beyond the 2013 season, giving the private schools time to have everything in place to form their own organization. It will be a case of who blinks first. And I suspect there will be some changes in the LHSAA administration, but I'm not as close to that as some of you are.

I wouldn't rely on politicians to save anyone from anyone very often.

And to be honest, I'm not sure I've seen a case presented as to how it would benefit the privates to break off. I can understand using the threat of it as leverage in negotiations. And I can understand the urge to act out of spite. But I think at the end of the day, most entities act in their own best interest and I'm just not sure I'm seeing how that move would be in their best interest.
