So right EP. Blaming the VHSL for this, and problems like this is like hiring a bank guard and not give him permission to do anything but stand there. And then blame him when the bank gets robbed.
“Virginia HS Football Fan”, please do yourself a favor and research the charter of the VHSL. The membership, all 315 +- schools make the rules. No one else. The people in the League office are employed by those member schools. The membership, and most directly the Executive Committee of the VHSL, tell the people in the league office what they can and can’t do.
Dr. Haun and his staff are not blind or indifferent to what is going on. But until the League membership empowers them to investigate and punish offenses, they are powerless. Yes, if the violation is brought to the League office following the protocol that the MEMBERSHIP has mandated, then and only then, can the League proceed with determining the facts and enforcing whatever punishment that the MEMBERSHIP has established for the offense. (The problem is that member schools are hesitant, no RELUCTANT is a better term, to come forward and present evidence against other schools for a lot of reasons.)
If you want to criticize someone, then criticize the right someone. THE MEMBERSHIP, and the EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE by extension.
