I disagree with our State directors who made the decision. As I said earlier, I think my job could be harder next year because of the precedence set at that championship game. It upsets me to think they did not have the courage to follow the rules. As a referee in Pennsylvania, I almost feel betrayed. Nothing violates the integrity of the game more than ignoring blatantly the rules.

If your contention is that there is no punishment, then I do not see where you are coming from. Because punishment can come in all kinds of forms and directions. So basically according to you, we just end the game, have no winner but by forfeit and send everyone home with a horrible outcome.
I went to a military school for one year, if we did things that violated rules outside of the school grounds, the punishment was much more sever than anything they State would do if we violated our own rules. Let us not make it seem like the only ones that can punish someone is the officials and the state.
Just my opinion.
