Little League Screws Things Up Even More

PG They extended their boundaries to include other area LLs kids.  This is a big no no in LL land. I live in IL somewhat close to where this league is. I tried for years to have our boundaries changed but was shot down multiple times.  

They had the district president involved so there was collusion in a cover up. In addition there are also suggestions that some of the other kids registered at their relatives addresses and not the actual address. A few of the kids don't goto school in the city. Though this could be related to the poverty condition as IL allows you to pick your school if you are homeless.

im not sure why it took so long for LL to come down with a decision. I have been hearing about this and an ongoing investigation in local baseball circles since right after the tourney ended. I'm theorizing that LL did not want to do anything as this was a great story. I think their hand was finally forced by the publicity. 

Its  a shame as there are a lot of people hurt in this on all side due to the actions of some adults who dont want to follow the rules. 

while what you say may well be true it is no excuse. they cheated...they cheated the system, they cheated every other team in the section, state, region, it seems very obvious that at least some if not many of the parents (not coaches) knew what was going on, the kids aren't stupid they know darn well what the boundaries are (at least many of them) and if a kid lives anywhere near them...there is no shame in feeling bad for the whole situation but that group of coaches, parents, local and state reps knew waht was going on. I don't doubt there were inocent people caugth in the mix but it would have been damn near impossible to keep it from everyone.
