I in no way was trying to get into a who knows more about what kinda battle. I've seen a similar situation go to court, yes it was in a different state, no I don't know all the details. But it didn't hold up is my point. If it would in your area, so be it, my area allows both so it really doesn't currently concern me, I was just speaking from my own personal experience.As a school administrator and someone who has taken several courses on school lawa I disagree. Public schools and their associations do have some rights with respect to behavior that does not occur on school grounds - especially if they can prove that it has an impact on the school related activity. I would guess that each person who competes as a part of MHSAA has to sign a contract including a code of conduct in which the athlete agrees to abide by the regulations. An athlete might have grounds in court if they refuse to sign the contract/code of conduct... That is also why it is possible for athletes to be suspended from teams or other school activities if they are found to engage in underage drinking or other prohibited behavior even if it occurs outside of school time.
