Having had the opportunity to work closely with Mr. Musselman and the other KSHSAA personnel on some projects and having "crossed swords" with them in some other areas, I disagree with your over-reaching generalization. He does/they do wield a lot of power, but no more than that which is given them by the by-laws of the KSHSAA; which, is an organization composed of member schools whose sole purpose is to oversee and administer certain specified interscholastic activities, and whose member schools do, in fact, select their own governing boards--including the one which hires and fires the KSHSAA personnel.
IMHO, if the worst thing that ever happens is that the Kansas state wrestling tournament(s) is/are not wrestled in the same facility I will die a satisfied man.
