I was under the impression that the AD has some control over the facility that Mark's league played at? Maybe I misunderstood that, but that seems to be the case if they do not get along or come to some agreement they have no place to play at the time. Mark made it seem if they do not “play nice” that they would be a$$ out. This is sometimes the case here and even more the case with the smaller schools if they are in the same school district.

Not due to any facility conflict, but because the AD is blaming the rec league for lower-than-expected attendance numbers at Friday night varsity games.

Normally, I wouldn't have an issue with accomodating the AD, but according to Mark, a change in schedule would negatively affect the league.

I agree if you do not have to listen to the AD, but it seems like he has some pull in that area and you do not want to fight someone improperly that might pull the league's ability to hold games when they wish. We complain about politics, this is the real politics that people with schools often have to deal with.
