The lawsuit filed in Lafayette had nothing to do with the LHSAA's actions. Just a lawyer jumping on the bandwagon. Rickey Hardy is the only member of the Louisiana State Legislature that pushed this academic standard change. He raked LHSAA Commissioner Kenny Henderson over the coals this past session in the House Education Committee and basically gave him an ultimatum that they do something or he would continue to assail them in the future. Hardy's push is something that goes back to his years on the Lafayette Parish School Board. He demanded that the system stop exploiting athletes at the expense of academics. It is great that this change was facilitated by a Legislator from Lafayette Parish. Hardy is doing his job in Baton Rouge. He's a fighter. - yesidoknow Sat, 30 Jan 2010 12:27:25 +0100 http://www.theind.com/home/5593#comment-5602 40 years past due. Thanks to Ricky Hardy who had the gonads to stand up to the sports ya-hoos!! - northsidian Sat, 30 Jan 2010 09:20:22 +0100 http://www.theind.com/home/5593#comment-5600 Actually Rickey Hardy failed to legislate this. He tried but could not advance his bill. Makes you wonder why the other legislators would vote against it. There was a lawsuit filled in Lafayette because cheerleaders are req'd to maintain a C average but athletes are not. The litigants are the ones who forced the LHSAA to act on this or spend lots of money fighting this one in court. Many thanks to Mr. Hardy for remaining vigilant on this issue. - cajnman Sat, 30 Jan 2010 09:03:56 +0100 http://www.theind.com/home/5593#comment-5593 Congratulations to Ricky Hardy. It is good to see that this state might actually care about education a little. - Thrilled... Fri, 29 Jan 2010 17:32:36 +0100
