Evil thought

Something got me thinking about high school sports and the mess they are in so many places. Football is the worst, I understand, but other sports can be pretty bad as well.
One of the biggies is the "sports players can get away with anything" attitude.
I started out thinking about eligibility requirements, such as minimum GPA. And it occured to me that if you could find people with the gumption to actually *do* it, you could shut down the parents (who are the ones putting on muchof the pressure) with one simple statement:
"You *do* realize that you are asking use to lie on official documents. That's a felony. And you are therefore soliting a felony. You want to reconsider what you just said? Ort shall I just call the police now?"
But similar things apply to all the *other* stuff that the parents want swept under the rug.
