My legal commentary was in response to the comments earlier in the thread of some wealthy group like the Carmel Dads Club challenging a prohibition of collectives and inducements in court, and how the facts don't match up with how plaintiffs have successfully challenged the NCAA––basically, scholarships = acquisition costs and therefore they can't be capped by an agreement among competitors, which we don't have in high school athletics. It seems like the GA and DOE became involved in response to the Indiana Supreme Court clarification of the analytical framework for cases arising out of rules/enforcement in Carlberg in 1997. As far as I understand it, the DOE is an alternative route to conventional legal action––which is good considering how long the legal process takes.

Solid points on the other parts, but for this one, keep in mind the Indiana General Assembly inserted itself and the DOE as the final authority; making it easier to challenge rulings the IHSAA makes.

I think the term is hysterical.
