Each time I read about the ongoing battle with the IHSA and the Illinois Press Association (IPA), I imagine someone in the IHSA office pulling a Jerry McGuire - http://youtube.com/watch?v=9MaKHxsGZ-A.
As we've all seen over the years, high school sports have become a revenue source for many. But you have to love it when you hear "high school" people nail soccer clubs for charging. It's all about money they say.
My first reaction is that yes, you pay for a service and club is a service. With a service, you hopefully receive something in return.
But in this case - the battle over the sale of IHSA state finals photos between the IHSA and IPA - I want someone to tell me the Jerry McGuire reference is wrong.
