Class-Action Lawsuit to be Filed Against IHSA to Allow Fall Sports to Begin – NBC5 (Chicago)

The suit, to be filed this week in DuPage County,  alleges that prohibitions on some fall sports violates the IHSA’s constitution and bylaws, and has “caused mental health issues and financial hardships” for athletes and their families. Specifically, the suit alleges that the decision to postpone fall sports will have negative financial impacts on both students and parents, as they will fall behind in their ability to compete for athletic scholarships to make college more affordable.

And very few are good enough to qualify. One aspect of COVID that I believe you will see is that athletic scholarships and non-revenue sports will diminish, and parents and students should begin to think realistically about obtaining a high value education. This is difficult to do right now in Illinois, and is… Read more »

You couldn’t be more on point. I see high school teams completing on Cog Hill golf course wearing masks outside to comply with the tubby tyrant’s rules while his daughter is traveling out of state ( he has banned others from doing so.) to ride a horse. What a hypocrite! His response: I am tired of personal attacks!

A statewide concern: Illinois’ population decline outpaces neighboring states – Wirepoints on ABC20 Champaign

“We are not in good shape” Wirepoints’ Ted Dabrowski told ABC 20 Champaign during a segment on Illinois’ latest population losses. Illinois was one of just three states to shrink in the 2010-2020 period and has lost another 300,000 people since then. Ted says things need to change. “It’s too expensive to live here, there aren’t enough good jobs and nobody trusts the government anymore. There’s just other places to go where you can be more satisfied.”
