In fact, the statement posted in the largest, boldest font is this one:
They are going to try to hold officials responsible if a fight breaks out during postgame handshakes ... wow! Sounds like there may an increase in legal actions against officials in Kentucky, if this is accurate.

This is a perfect example of why certain people should be banned from reading ANYTHING on the internet. In reading the statement IN ITS ENTIRETY...the exact opposite is true. The article AND the commissioner clearly state that game officials do not, nor have they ever, had juridiction over these activities.
How does somebody take that conclusion away from the KHSAA statement???
Now Massachusetts is a whole different matter.
