The opinion

SHEPARD, Chief Justice,

concurring.

The IHSAA has argued in these appeals that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of the courts.' This contention has been rejected by state and federal courts on -prior- occasions too numerous to mention.. I see no reason, why parties engaged in litigation with the IHSAA should have to pay their lawyers to respond to this contention. Thus, if we had been asked to do so, I would vote to order payment of attorney fees on this issue.
