I was told in a face-to-face with one person that attended the rules meeting last June (without any word-smithing) that NFHS faced a threatened class action lawsuit if they did not "give the girls the same" as the boys.

Yet, MS made no such comment. In an intelligent world, such a lawsuit would never be allowed in a courtroom. Unfortunately, we don't live in an intelligent world. However, this goes back to my comments about the misinterpretation of Title IX and others just buying into such claims without really understanding the law.
