A global pandemic. The<\/span> loss of NBA legend Kobe Bryant<\/span><\/a>. Fires. Hurricanes. The year 2020 sure has had its fair share of bizarre events. And now, thanks to a few high school athletes and their parents, you can add an IHSA lawsuit to the mix.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Tuesday, September 29th,<\/span> a group of Illinois high school student-athletes and parents filed a class action lawsuit against the IHSA.<\/span><\/a> Their goal for the suit was to force the Illinois High School Association to reinstate fall sports. This comes after the IHSA\u2019s decision to modify its sports schedule for the 2020-21 school year. In July, <\/span>the board of directors decided to move all of the fall contact sports to the spring<\/span><\/a>. This meant that team sports like football, boys soccer, and girls volleyball would all have delays in their season. Unfortunately, their decision wasn\u2019t taken very lightly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
