[Truth]

The KHSAA will operate at its own speed- very slow. Nothing said or done will be relevant until KHSAA comes down with its edict and Fairview has a chance to rebut it (obviously a waste of time but still part of the "game"). Once KHSAA reaches its interpretation of the facts, it very rarely changes its conclusions regardless of the rebuttal offered by the accused entity.

When it is all concluded, many will think Fairview got off far too easy because many suspected "sins" won't be addressed or punished. Also, many will think Fairview was singled out unfairly by KHSAA when, in their eyes, others in the area have committed equal or worse infractions with nothing happening to them. Actually, both groups will be correct. KHSAA is quit subjective in its enforcement of its rules.

The key is that KHSAA must receive a "complaint", not anonymous, from someone- a school representative, an individual, etc.) before it will consider an investigation. That appears to have happened in this matter and the circumstantial evidence of the identity of the tattler seems pretty reliable since it has a past history of tattling.

Fairview representatives have been advised by counsel to keep their collective mouths shut and, if anything is said, to say it with measured words. That will continue to be the case. That is good advice. We have all heard that loose lips sink ships. Therefore, any forthcoming "facts" will be second or third hand or gossip.
