Justices: Court no place to fight SSAC rulings
Court Alerts
The state Supreme Court ruled Thursday that West Virginia courts aren't the place to challenge most decisions the Secondary School Activities Commission makes about high school sports, from calls on the field to the application of rules.
The SSAC's powers are clearly spelled out in state law, and as long as disputes fall within those powers, they "are not subject to judicial review," Justice Thomas McHugh said in his opinion for the court.
The ruling elaborates on a decision the court rendered last fall in a dispute over the Class AAA high school football championship game and is clearly intended to dissuade similar lawsuits.
