Whoa, that's where I have to suggest that you are getting incorrect information from a board member. When you say legislation, you have just turned this completely around. This is not "legal", and we will never see "legislation" in sports in our lifetime. As I have said, KHSAA, KYMSFA, these are clubs! You pay a membership fee to participate in those organizations, thus, there is NO POSSIBLE way for legally binding a school to participate in a club. KDE has no ability, trust me, NO ABILITY to enforce upon schools to participate in in club organization. As for KDE and KHSAA being connected in any way, notta! They have zero to do with each other. Neither organization has anything to do with the other.

I'm not calling you out, but the person who passed this information on to you has passed on to you some information that either was not explained clearly enough to you, or they fabricated it. I'm in a position to understand KHSAA better than the average person, since I am a member of the organization.

I'll put it to you this way, give me two weeks to follow-up, since I will be at a meeting with KHSAA in Louisville over the weekend of January 20-21. I'll get the facts.

STARDUST, you are incorrect, KY has passed legislation (See House Bill 383) in the past, and will continue to do so. Because of HB383 all HS coaches are required to go through several training programs and the KHSAA Sports Safety Course.
