Delaney: Proctor, RFA & TVL is not over yet

I expect we haven't heard the last of this. In fact I'm pretty sure there's more to come with the on-going saga of the Tri Valley League and Thomas R. Proctor and Rome Free Academy.

The reversal Wednesday by a three-person NYSPHSAA panel on a Section III decision to allow the schools into the TVL opens the door for additional action to be taken. For now, it seems as if the TVL won although on a technicality. Unclear paperwork and ballots as part of the Section III Athletic Council vote in March allowed the state association panel to reverse the decision.

Now it's back in the hands of Section III. As a result of the procedural error, the section is going to create guidelines for schools to follow if they want to change leagues or join a different one. Once the criteria is made clear to all 100-plus Section III member schools, I expect the process to start all over again.

Get ready to turn the page.
