Only one member, Raleigh King, had a grasp of what they were supposed to do yesterday, which was ONLY to judge the Lexington plan on its merits and vote accordingly. Instead, the others seemed to decide they were to set policy. King tried his best. He was outvoted 3/
There’s much frustration with having to wait for a decision. I get it. But your argument shouldn’t be with the League. I disagree with them frequently, but they HAVE PASSED a plan. It’s the Appellate Panel that is currently holding high school sports hostage.
