FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - April 19, 2005 Supreme Court Sets Conference Date In Seasons Litigation EAST LANSING , Mich. - April 19 - The Michigan High School Athletic Association has been notified that April 29 has been set as the date for the U.S. Supreme Court to conduct a conference regarding its request to consider an appeal of lower court rulings in the sports seasons litigation. It is likely that the Supreme Court will notify the MHSAA on May 2 whether or not it will take the case. After the Supreme Court notifies the MHSAA, the Association will post a statement regarding that decision to its Web site. Should the MHSAA be made aware of any changes in the Supreme Court schedule, it will communicate them to the media. If the Supreme Court denies the MHSAA’s request for an appeal, then changes in MHSAA Tournament dates in the affected sports will be enacted beginning with the 2005-06 school year. If the Supreme Court honors the MHSAA’s request for an appeal, the MHSAA will ask the Court to stay the District Court’s order that would require a change in MHSAA Tournament dates in 2005-06. Information about further Supreme Court proceedings would then be announced as it becomes available. -0- RL05-065
