Probably would have had a good motion or two if he were there.

Bonine's doing the right thing in trying to void this stupid split

I just he isn't trying to find any bs reason to do so... make it fully legit

Henderson sought and received an outside legal opinion and member schools were told the constitution and other bylaws in the LHSAA handbook were separate entities that did not have to agree.


wow...

sounds like Kenny Henderson did exactly what he was hired to do...

there's actually two posters on louisianasportsline, bigbobjohnsonmagnum and btown, who support the split, want to extend it, and are getting slaughtered in arguments there lol...

What a crook. He did everything he could to help the split happen and it almost caused the LHSAA to shut down.

As long as the split is only football, I dont think the privates will leave. The first year when they discussed moving every sport to a split, the privates were going to bolt and form a new association.

Well he's gonna be real pissed when they vote to split all classes in all sports in 2 weeks. And it is going to happen.

It's either split in all, or they go to metro/rural.

so... according to the Times-Pic... the split is officially no more already... it's back in the regular 5 class system like it was pre-split

and the finding may not allow some votes that were expected to happen at the convention

quote:

A ruling that the process by which the new format was adopted contradicted the constitution renders the move void, reverting the LHSAA to the system in place before the illegitimate action.

The discovery also jeopardizes some of the most heavily anticipated votes of this year's fast-approaching convention.

now this isn't it for the "split" and the ideas that made it happen... Bonine's work isn't done. He still needs those principals on his side.

I like what he said about thinking about the whole state, not just local communities...

This is not new, there were members of the Executive Committee that were very angry about the way everything happened before and after the split vote. Especially the way henderson ignore the Association Charter, Constitution and bylaws to push his agenda to a vote. Then the strong arm tactics used on the Class B and Class C schools to decide an issue on a sport they dont play was salt on the wound.

So this is actually not new, it just took a while for Bonine to be briefed on what happened, investigate the issue and hire an outside counsel to review the case. The lawyer the LHSAA hired to review everything and confirmed that the Constitution was not followed. So the shite will hit the fan at the winter meeting.

can someone explain to my why there was a split in the first place? Having a dozen state title games or whatever they have now is absurd. Having a 10 team "division" where everyone makes the playoffs is equally absurd.
