If you follow North Dakota sports (reading this blog you must) you've no doubt heart, read about the debacle sucking the life out of Hankinson, North Dakota. I'm not going to repost the newspaper facts. You can find those at www.in-forum.com or on www.ndpreps.com or other places.
With the coaches on the defensive and players divided the community a buzz...I venture to say no one will win. Not the parents, players, coaches, fans, city or North Dakota sports for the matter.
We can't make it disappear, but what it does is make me think that getting rid of HS sponsored sports just takes another step forward. Overbearing parents already pick and choose which AAU/ECI teams kids play on. Why stop there?
Moving to club sports and the school is off the hook, the parents can choose the team and coaches. Hmm....not such a bad idea. I think I'd call this deregulation of sports in North Dakota.
Think how much money this would save taxpayer and school districts?
