This could be wrong but what I was told. That info would be incorrect. It's being delayed by 4 school board members. The only one that voted against it was Ryan Phillips.

You have confused me too. The governor signed the deal this week. That means the season starts on time expect for a couple of metro areas.

I mean if schools are wanting to delay reopening because they are concerned about the school system contracting the virus. I'd imagine he was curious as to how football would fit in a different rule set is all. At this point everyone is glad to see football no doubt. Glad it doesn't affect you all.

It is a mess here in the middle - the Metro decision has blown up schedules, DII(s) are trying to decide if they are going to follow along or not. Seems like everything is a moving target, but thankful that the boys have a hope of playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
