He is the only “team member” currently listed. They had camp this week. They’ve been in full crisis mode since Thursday. It’ll get changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't ever think that one makes you the other." Here, those who keep insisting that DCI doesn't have the legal authority to do A, B or C - don't assume for a minute that at the end of the day, they can't somehow make YEA! agree to just about any darned thing they want to - IF they want it done badly enough. Just because they don't have the "right" to do it doesn't mean they can't get it done. WTH? What country do you think we live in? We have laws. We have rights. DCI has exactly the authority vested in it by its board members, nothing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCI has exactly the authority vested in it by its board members, nothing more. Yes, but that doesn't mean DCI can't do pretty much anything about Cadets it deems necessary to protect DCI. DCA, by a vote of its board members, banned Renegades from the 2014 championships after Renegades trashed their hotel rooms in 2013. DCI's board members, or perhaps the full membership of DCI overriding the board (as happened during the attempted G7 putsch) likewise could make demands on Cadets: "Take steps X, Y, and Z or we will not allow you to perform in the 2018 championships, or in any DCI-sanctioned event, or some other similar punishment". I'm not saying DCI should do so, but they absolutely could. Might a lawsuit from YEA follow? Sure. Obviously DCI would want to consider all ramifications of any drastic steps.

Popular Post Shewhois Posted April 8, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 8, 2018 I’m confused by the call to sanction the current MM. George is gone and not lettting the Cadets compete does not hurt the BoD - it hurts the kids. My son is a current member - when he read the article his reaction was “I will only march if Hop resigns.” I am pretty confident that the brave women who came forward would be horrified with all this speculation about whether the kids could/should compete this summer. 8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dci May very well be waiting to see what else is out there. My hunch is YEAs problems are just starting 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
