Chuck you love to tell me how wrong I am, well you are wrong.
This is the reason that the Upstate 8 Conferecence in Illinois changed things. I do not know of every issue, but this was a major issue with the Elgin School District that was sued by parants of girls participants and made the conference change its policy. This lawsuit was largely based on girls not playing on weekends and playing on school nights (I am sure there were more issues at stake, but that is what the obvious change was). The boy's games were mainly held on the weekends and almost all the girl's game were held on weekdays. I really do not see what anyone can do about crowd size. You either are going to get the support or you are not. I guess the playing night was in issue for someone.
Peace
