NEW EXTRA POINTS:
The battle over the schedule model for college men's soccer isn't just an argument between rich schools and less-rich schools. It's a governance question about college SPORTS that won't go away in the near future:

It appears the inaugural Hiram women's program is running into the problem MCLA had last season, forcing them to forfeit their remaining eight games of the season. Except in this case, the season hadn't started yet...
Hiram has a mere 14 rostered players (includes 2 goalies) and they've already needed to cancel one game this season (their home-opener against Stevenson).
Stevenson has now scheduled Manhattanville on Monday - January 11th, 2027 to replace their cancelled game against Hiram as the Valiants needed to fill a 25th game.
Hiram reportedly had only 9 skaters available for their 10/28 scheduled game, thus needing to cancel.
This problem doesn't just affect Hiram, it affects all of their opponents who potentially lose out on games because the school could only roster 12 skaters and 2 goalies for an entire season.
You shouldn't be allowed to have a roster this small and potentially screw up other schools' seasons... This is no disrespect to the players, but the administration.
MCLA is at least located in a good geographical region (Massachusetts) relative to others, Hiram is not, located in northeast Ohio...

The MHSAA just stated that it is "thankful for the Court’s prompt decision today, confirming the integrity of the MHSAA’s eligibility rules, which all of our member schools expect to be enforced as written."
Let's face it…this ruling had to happen! It also was the right call. Otherwise, the MHSAA would be toothless.
So let me get this straight. A student-athlete and his family provide inaccurate transfer information to a school and the MHSAA, resulting in the athlete being cleared and deemed eligible for the fall football season. Then, during the season, contradictory information comes to light, prompting the MHSAA to rule him ineligible – not only for the remainder of the season but retroactively for six games in which he had already played. Those forfeits leave the team without enough playoff points, resulting in its removal from the MHSAA playoffs.
Then, a different player from that same team obtains a temporary restraining order from a Kent County judge, effectively putting the MHSAA's ruling on hold until at least today.
Do I have that right? 😳

Amateur athletes’ ability to sign endorsement deals that monetize their name, image and likeness has pumped billions of dollars into college sports. Now it is coming for high-school athletes. on.wsj.com/4k78bue

Varsity sports have long encouraged school attendance with a simple rule: No class, no play.
But the rise of travel sports has flipped that incentive, particularly in wealthier communities. Its popularity has added fuel to a surge in chronic absenteeism. trib.al/ryhzisw

I’ve left wide-eyed after every conversation with a high school AD for years.
Those jobs keep growing and growing and growing.
