However, some schools particularly in the metropolitan areas have circumvented the process and come up with this new term called the open enrollment process where any student from any local district can go to any high school they choice. This has created 2 problems. #1.)Increase the need for schools to win. #2.) Students from out of the district can transfer in and dominate playing time. That is play in districts where the tax dollars can come from a completely different group of people that pay the taxes for that area. Hence, the lawsuit. I think we should pay very close attention to this lawsuit. I think it is a legitimate lawsuit. However, some of these high schools have ties to DI colleges which makes this an even bigger deal.

Bovine excrement!

What orifice do you pull this stuff out of? Open enrollment isn't about sports, you moron. Sure, there are some side affects that involve sports, but I'm sure the idea competing academically hasn't occurred to you. Yes, it is a sad commentary that parents think their little Johnny deserves to play more. It can't be that Johnny didn't practice enough during the off season, it's got to be the coach's fault for not recognizing his enormous talent.

Sorry, but you don't know squat about the law. The US Supreme Court has ruled that the contribution of any taxpayer to the government treasury is de minimus and does not grant standing to sue that body no matter how that money is spent.

1. This post makes just about as much sense as the Jerry Springer Show and should be categorized as such.
2. This post is as ridiculous as any post you have entered to date.... which is actually saying quite a bit.
3. Let me see, which metropolitan area is located in South Dakota and which school has close ties to D-1 programs?
4. Just because I pay taxes doesn't mean that little Johny gets to play on the HS team. Little Johnny might be lousy and the D-1 and NBA scouts are not going to be at every game waiting to offer him a full riode in college then after two years make him a millionaire so he can support me in my old age.
5. Antipsychotics are good for some parents when it comes to their kid and sports!
6. As for living in the past, or wherever it is that you beamed down from, you picked your name,OS, not us.
