I'm not saying I agree with what happened, I'm just pointing out the unfortunate truth of the situation. School is just like real life, it always pays to read the fine print...

Also, we still don't have any information as to what the cause could be. It's hard to believe but there could be the best possible reason for the board's actions. It could also be a trivial thing that was viewed as a possible cost savings. School boards are elected officials and elected officials don't always make the right choice, just the choice that they feel is right at the time.

I'm still offering support as I feel the actions of the board are unfair and ridiculous. But I like to offer up the facts of the matter so people will stop saying that these students and parents should sue or publicly protest. Both of those actions could lead to more trouble for the team.

Think about it this way, would you want to be associated and hosted by a school that you just filed a lawsuit on?
