Comments on: Colt McCoy visit gets high school investigated for unauthorized practice http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/04/05/colt-mccoy-visit-gets-high-school-investigated-for-unauthorized-practice/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Thu, 23 May 2013 23:20:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: dmwoodman http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/04/05/colt-mccoy-visit-gets-high-school-investigated-for-unauthorized-practice/#comment-1707075 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 23:04:57 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=498014#comment-1707075 First of all I would like to say that this is something very stupid and should be thrown out. Secondly the IHSA is not run by the State Government. They are a non for profit agency. They make their money through the State finals they put on and merchandise sales.

Not a big deal, I realize, but still a mistake.

By the way, IHSA is every bit as silly as this article suggests. Inexplicable decisions emerge from this organization on a routine basis.

Each passing day finds us further over regulated by over zealous bureaucrats.

Think about it a guy can’t just show up at a school and toss a football with some kids without some bureaucrat trying to make a name for himself by lunching an investigation.

We are over litigating, regulating, and investigating ourselves to death.

Are we still the land of the free? Nope, lawyers/worthless bureaucrats have seen to it that freedom dies a slow and painful death.

So I guess when there is no work people just invent work and get paid (by tax payers if it’s a HS athletic association).

Wish I could get my state government to pay me to invent irrelevant busy work.

The IHSA is crazier than the NCAA

As someone who graduated from an IHSA school last year I can confirm this. I’m ashamed they’re actually investigating this too…

More like, Leaf is getting balls thrown to him. Right on the chin.

The IHSA is investigating this as a misuse of practice time because McCoy was teaching them to run a 3 yard curl on 3rd and 10.
