Sort of a tough position to be in... If you don't come down hard on your
school, then of course opposing fans will cry foul - that there is
definitely a conflict of interest. Yet, if you do come down hard, then
your own people will accuse you of being too tough just to avoid
accusations of partiality!!
I had a friend in high school who's father was the principal. A bit of
the same situation, no?
