House Hearings on MSHSAA
Wednesday, May 09, 2007
    There is a bill in the Missouri House sponsored by the Rep. from Chesterfield, Jane Cunningham, that would put the Missouri State High School Activities Association under the control of the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. The bill is not likely to get a hearing during this legislative session, but it is good that someone is finally noticing how bad MSHSAA is at what they do. Several people testified in favor of the bill including a coach not named Floyd Irons who was suspended for supposed recruiting and an athlete forced to sit out a year because of a transfer for athletic reasons. MSHSAA looked for people to testify on its behalf, but the Vashon athletes conveniently weren't home at their listed residence in the Vashon district.
