No Change In Girls' BB Rules Sparks GAA Debate
GAU representative E Wayne Copley told Area III superintendents on January 5 that a Tennessee style lawsuit over abolishing six girl basketball is possible but unlikely. He warned a rule change could wreck GAA finances, noting basketball revenue rose 400000 and softball 100000 in ten years. He cited an Iowa Civil Liberties Union inquiry and said no change is planned, while predicting cloudy funding for university sports and brighter prospects in Iowa high schools where every district offers girls programs and 21 state championships occur yearly.
