I was both a-mused and b-mused by Charles Perrys proposal to put the Texas High School playoff system under the jurisdiction of the legislature. And even though the policies and procedures of the UIL are not perfect it is far better equipped to set and enforce the rules and regs governing school activities. I agree with all the reasons for making the change, especially the watering-down and expense aspects of it. But who the yell wants the state law to take over. Whats next? Making an off sides penalty a misdemeanor and unnecessary roughness a felony. Look, Cholly. Your idea is going nowhere and you knew it wasnt. But, I suspect, it got you what every politician thirsts for: Headlines. And, hey, there are enough things in the legislative bailiwick to attend to that are more important than getting your name in the paper.
