That is the most biased, one sided article I have ever read.

That is the most biased, one sided article I have ever read. It's not meant to be an unbiased news article, it's an editorial opinion by the columnist. Hence the OP-ED in the headline -- solely his opinion on the matter.

Well, Jindal signed the bill so now third party arbitration is now the law. But, who is going to pay for it? Estimate cost is $4,500 to $6,000 per case. Last year, LHSAA had 475 appeals. If LHSAA has to pay it, they have to raise funds, which means more costs for member schools, which means more costs for the parents whose funds ultimately fund those programs.
Or, LHSAA can pass off the cost of each appeal to each school that appeals. But, it is doubtful that most schools can afford it. Thus, only the more financially secure schools will be able to get third party arbitration. Am I wrong about this?

Seems to me bad precedent that this even went to the State Legislature. LHSAA's initial ruling was based on the rule book and on tradition. Extenuating circumstances are tough, but tough circumstances are the reasons rules are made in the first place -- to guide us in those times when there is a dilemma.
Seems like this precedent will benefit schools that have wealth and political power, furthering the calls for a split in high school athletics.
