Over the summer, there was a firestorm within the baseball and softball community over a by-law adjustment.

As I say over and over and over and over again, engage and educate yourself about the #IHSA.

By-laws are set to be voted on again in early December, like they are every single year. Have you looked at what’s on the table? Have you talked to your athletic director and/or principal?

I do this for free, because for decades I’ve watched the same issues, same stories with schools and the IHSA. I don’t always agree with the IHSA, but I also will defend it when people use social media to hammer it without being educated on the basics.

Do you know #ILSupts have long talked about having a seat on the IHSA board of directors and are now pushing for it? Remember, the IHSA exists because of schools.

Do you know who is on your sport’s advisory committee, how they get picked and if they have any real power to make change?

Did you know there is a push to allow a student athlete compete until the age of 22 in all sports except football?
