Wait a minute, how are you punishing the players?

No one is forcing high school students to play a sport.
No one is being paid to play in the sport.
Going into a sport everyone knows the rules, it is not like it is a surprise.
What about the opponents that HHI played? What about those students?
It does not effect a player's ability to receive a college scholarship.

How has SCHSL done any "damage"?
