The VHSL in action

[Lcubed48]

Apparently, the powers that be in Charlottesville have been hard at work. The Richmond Times-Dispatch had this article in today's sport page.

1)VHSL announces a basketball slaughter rule.

2)State basketball semifinals to move away from Siegel Center.

3)VHSL votes to pull most state championship events from Liberty University.

I've always been shocked that they were willing to set foot on Liberty's campus.....

Jerry Falwell founded the University and (depending on your point of view), it is either an excellent example of Christian morals and ethics OR a hotbed of rightwing fascism....

I can't wait to see the University of Connecticut truck.

Because of the overt political leanings of the University.

Does renting the facilities somehow imply agreement with those overt political leanings???

If organizations should avoid using facilities with political leanings, few, perhaps no, states would be able to use any college facility. Or are we to only be tolerant of like-minded people?

You asked a question, I answered it. I didn't make any judgments about the situation.

Any further explanations you need to ask the person who made the original comment.

The CIAC in CT uses Mohegan Sun for their state championships. I don't think that implies they support gambling, drinking and smoking, although I wonder what effect it has on teenagers that aren't exposed to it in any other public place in CT (well, gambling and smoking).

I know the officials that go to watch the games and support other officials will sometimes get hotel rooms and spend the night drinking and gambling away. Nice way to celebrate the end of the year with fellow friends.

Maybe because it is centrally located in state and has fantastic facilities for high school post season structure and events

And some people don't make every decision in their lives based on politics.

There is a significant difference between "political leanings" and being overtly political. I'd like to know of another college- in the country-whose facilities are used where the university president publically endorsed a political candidate during a primary.

Its not centrally located to the majority of schools in the VHSL.

I would disagree, unless by "majority" you mean (by sheer numbers) schools either in 757 or NOVA. What's now "centrally located", after moving from Lynchburg, about teams traveling all the way to Hampton Roads area for a state championship? Unless you are from that area, and of course one team in the final could be, but not BOTH.

What are the details of the mercy rule?
