It also adds a retaliation claim involving the PIAA and its District 6 chairman. McCort alleges the chairman threatened to investigate 38 student-athlete transfers if the school continued its lawsuit. The claims have not been proven in court.In recent responses to 6 News Right-to-Know requests, we learned that McCort reached agreements with 12 other schools previously named in the lawsuit. The agreement does not call for a settlement payment, financial penalty or reimbursement of attorneys’ fees. It says each side would pay its own legal fees.Under the agreement, McCort and the 12 schools agreed to submit a proposed change to the LHAC constitution that would rescind a November 2025 amendment and restore the previous membership renewal process. The schools also agreed to attend the meeting where the proposal would be considered and vote in favor of it.In exchange, McCort agreed to resolve its claims against those schools and seek to dismiss them from the case with prejudice. The agreement says it is not an admission of wrongdoing by the schools.</div></body>
