I would go with the majority of my association, while personally voting to walk. I would not look kindly on officials or associations that decided to fill in for us if we walked.
Agree 100% with your first point. Especially the word IMMEDIATELY. In my understanding of what was posted here, the "immediately' part hasn't happened. If they worked this year after the pay raise was rescinded, then, IMO, the officials have an obligation to keep their word THIS year. But again, that is just me and the value I place on my word. Can walking away LATER be rationalized? Absolutely, but I choose not to.
If a MINORITY of associations filled in for the MAJORITY of associations, then I would have a dim view of those in that association. However, in this case the MAJORITY of associations filled in for the MINORITY of associations.
To me the real test will come next year. The Associations know already that the LHSAA can't be trusted very far. If the LHSAA doesn't pony up, then the associations should call their bluff. At that point anyone or any association that chose to "cross the line" would be viewed in a very dim light. Heck, I might see about scheduling a game down there and be an AC from HELL just to show em!! I've been told I can be quite a handful!
