Reading article about James’s Wiseman (Memphis basketball) and his eligibility in high school and now college. Here’s an interesting excerpt about the judges ruling. “Kyle (Judge in the case) also wrote in his decision that the court lacked jurisdiction to overturn TSSAA's decisions because it's a voluntary organization and the matter didn't involve fraud, lack of jurisdiction, or the invasion of property rights or interests.” Interesting that a judge in Tennessee rules that their athletic association is voluntary and the courts have no jurisdiction over them, but in Louisiana the courts gladly make rulings against LHSAA decisions. Isn’t the LHSAA also a voluntary association made up of member schools? www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/28073995/james-wiseman-ineligibility-cost-memphis-east-high-school-state-title

Exactly what I'm saying. Why are courts getting involved in LHSAA matters when it's a voluntary private entity? Nobody that's a voluntary member of the LHSAA should be able to sue the LHSAA in state court. However, in Louisiana, politicians (Judges) want to have their hands in everything.

Just getting around to reading this. The LHSAA is indeed a voluntary organization and private. It also charges a fee and issues a set of bylaws and rules. This leaves it open to lawsuits. The bulk of lawsuits are between private entities many engaged in voluntary interactions. Why would that ever preclude a lawsuit? And in the state of Louisiana lawyers seem to rule supreme anyway.
