MHSAA was the correct defendant. They were ruled a state actor because of their involvement. This was based on the Supreme Courts decision on how Tennesse's Activities Association worked.

If they were not the correct defendant the case would have been tossed.
Part of the MHSAA's position is that Michigan Law prohibits school districts from ceding their power (regarding athletic matters) to the MHSAA. Is anyone aware of the exact statute in question?
