The alarming thing is that it took a while to conduct the investigation. I hope that the VHSL 's investigation ran parallel to Fairfax County's. I'm not surprised that Fairfax County's investigation came out now it did. It's a strange World up there.
However, the VHSL showed competence in conducting an investigation and they made the decision prior to the playoffs.
I usually give the VHSL a lot of deserved criticism, but this time, it looked like they were able come to a conclusion which may not be popular with many folks who follow the sport.

The flamboyant arrogance caught up with them. Can’t do the wrong things and expect good to follow you. Good call by the VHSL.
Probably better to say potentially wrecked at this point until all appeals are exhausted. The VHSL and its committees have been known to cave to the power of the largest schools systems in the state and the make up of the committee that hears the appeal may have some bearing on the final outcome.
Terrible that they took this late in season to determine this.
Will Overton abandon Hayfield now, just like he did Freedom? Heaven forbid he actually had to coach instead of just recruiting all star teams
You referenced an 804 team maybe being next. This flurry of activity at this particular time begs the question as to what, if anything, has all of a sudden changed or maybe it is just a case of pigs get fat and hogs get slaughtered as the actions have become more brazen. A 2 year ban has certainly got the attention of someone.
Who do you believe will be suing the VHSL and under what cause? I think the LCA situation is a different matter. LCA, under the Liberty umbrella, had massive resources that VHSL could not hope to match and, with that consideration and trial risk the VHSL opted to settle and get the best deal available. Likely proved to be the right decision for multiple reasons.
Doubt a disgruntled parent has resources and doubt there is anything there to entice an attorney, aside from them being the disgruntled part or a friend of the parent and that is before we discuss what the relief might be that they would seek.
I understand it's Northern Virginia but, I think you misjudge the amount of resources that might be required to scare the VHSL off a lawsuit, not to mention the top shelf legal talent that might be needed to scare them.
