Finally! Resolution to Michigan sports, um, resolution

According to headline in the Manchester Enterprise, it looks like we're on the verge of FINALLY getting some closure on the whole Michigan high school sports calendar issue, you know, the reason why volleyball is a winter sport there?

This thing has been dragging on, and on, and on for years. Every time you thought it was going to be resolved, someone would file a new lawsuit. So finally, according to the headline, here comes closure! Let's dive into the article:

"The fate of the state high school sports seasons lawsuit" -- Here we go! This is it! -- "might be decided next week."

Oh fer cryin' out loud.

"The U.S. Supreme Court's nine justices are scheduled to discuss the Michigan High School Athletic Association's appeal of a 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling at their weekly conference on March 30."

OK, that sounds promising.

"There is a possibility that the case won't be discussed that day. If not, it will be bumped to the next Friday's conference, a court clerk said."

...aaaand we're back to an endless loop of bureaucracy. But it doesn't end there. If the U.S. Supreme Court doesn't choose to hear the case, then the volleyball season changes, and it's all over.

HOWEVER, the article goes on to say, if the high school sports lawsuit is one of the approximately 100 cases the U.S. Supreme Court chooses to hear from a cluster of over 8,000, then the season doesn't change, and the Supreme Court hears the case in their next session, which doesn't start until October and...

You know what? I've lost interest. We shouldn't have to hear anymore about this case until there's ACTUAL resolution. Fair thee well, Mitten State.
