Not here in "The Land of Steady Habits". The Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference (CIAC), our sports governing body, that covers all public, and Catholic schools, in our state, takes care of those kind of issues through the coaches, athletic directors, and principals. The closest we come to any eligibility issue is to file a report with the CIAC when we eject a player, or a coach. That player, or coach, must sit out the next contest at that level (freshman, junior varsity, varsity), however, we don't get involved in any way with the enforcement of that suspension.
