Not really. Given how litigious our society is, and how myopically ignorant some parents can be, if the UIL were apply the Bill of Rights, they would spend more time in court than they would doing their jobs. I would not be opposed to having the UIL - and the TEA - under very strict oversight...

I can read just fine. I think the problem is on your end. The bill of rights does not apply to the UIL, nor should they. The UIL is God, judge and jury. Neither your feelz, nor your mommy's parenting ability matter. I don't like it as I think that top to bottom, the UIL is corrupt and far...

I would put my knowledge of civics and the constitution up against anyone on here. There's no need to get snarky. If you want to have a reasoned factual debate I am game. If you want to get into a snarky little insult contest - I can do that as well. The fact is you have changed your...

I merely challenged you to find any law that says there can't be a competing governing body for public school athletics. I gave you an example of you being wrong on this whole "power from the government" thing. I also think I was fairly clear in how governing bodies work. This "power" you...

Show me any law even hinting that you can't start your own public school sports governing body. Ever heard of the THSRA? Evidently they haven't heard of any such law either. Now, is it feasible to start an organization in direct competition with the UIL? Not at all. It's not the legalities...

And by implication, he pointed out how wrong RS is. Not illegal. Evidently not in violation of any rules, but just not how things should be done.

Organized sports, regardless of level, requires a governing body. To have a team and participate in said governing body's sport, you must voluntarily agree to the rules. There is no constitutional protections such as right to privacy, or speedy fair trials, or the right to face your accuser...

He's only a sophomore. Watch out.

Rigdon set an NCAA record, or rather his baseball team did several years ago. Maybe get some facts behind you before you start spewing the stupidity.

Why would he want to put a leg in anyone's jock strap? Rigdon evokes polarizing opinions. He might have a problem with authority figures, but the guy can coach.

I'm not attending the game, and I certainly won't be announcing anything. Having State games on a Wednesday or Thursday is pretty much a guarantee that the gate receipts will be less than a second round playoff game. Cowboy asked for some help - I was in a position to help. Goob can suck on...

You say that like it's a bad thing.

All this debate about going back to one division is like debating whether or not to ditch the Electoral College and go to a straight popular vote to elect our president: On one side it makes all the sense in the world. On the other it makes all the sense in the world. Sure it's fun to...

Getting on a message board and complaining about the officiating achieves absolutely nothing. Unless whining and moaning for attention is your thing. Comtact the chapter the officials work out of and let them know. If it was a sixman game from a smaller chapter, odds are there were at least 3...

I hope RS background check was more thorough than your google search.
