Illinois is the only state in the Midwest not allowing high school football this fall. Some parents and athletes have had enough.

A class action lawsuit is being filed this week in DuPage County against the Illinois High School Association seeking for all fall sports around the state to resume. In the lawsuit, the plaintiffs plan to seek a temporary restraining order against the state’s order to cancel most fall sports, including football, soccer and volleyball.
