Ark. Activities Assn. postpones Class 3A football playoffs afte...

The Arkansas Class 3A football playoffs are suspended indefinitely after a court ruling in Pope County.

[Mayor Glen Hurt]

I think it's absolutely ridiculous that one player in question of eligibility will keep 32 teams from playing tonight that have not done one thing wrong to deserve this. This will probably drag on for weeks and wipe the entire playoffs for the 3-A schools. What do the rules say, are they black & white, or do they have to be interpreted by hundreds of lawyers and judges. This is going to cost every school and host City a lot of money. Furthermore, they are penalizing thousands of kids and people for the sake of one. But that's the change this country, America, is turning in to.

The AAA needs to be the ones penalized for this. They dont even know their own rule book.
