BoardHater71 Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 I just wanted to start this post by saying that I hope everyone is doing well and taking care of themselves during this terrible time our country is facing. As an educator, coach, and mentor to young people I'd like to be the first to say that I miss the students. I hope they are taking all of the necessary steps needed to remain healthy. I have read on several social media sites as well as articles on whether or not football needed to be played in the fall of 2020. As a coach I desperately want to get back to the grind and hope that our students, especially the seniors, aren't "cheated" out of a year with their peers. We all get caught up in the winning/losing and the competitive side of things. At the end of the day it should always be about the kids and what is in the best interest for them. Tonight while sitting at home I drafted a potential outline of what an "Emergency Coronavirus Plan" could look like in the fall. This is just my opinion and you all please feel more than free to comment and share your thoughts. I hope it's not needed and hope that we are able to return to a normal schedule in May. Here's what I came up with: The Week of 9/4: Preseason Week 1 The Week of 9/11: Preseason Week 2 The Week of 9/18: Preseason Week 3 (Jamborees) 9/25: Week 1 10/2: Week 2 10/9: Week 3 10/16: Week 4 10/23: Week 5 10/30: Week 6 11/6: Week 7 11/13: Week 8 11/20: Week 9 11/27: Week 10 Top 2 teams from each Region Qualify for the TSSAA State Playoffs. 16 team Playoff Brackets. Playoff schedule as follows: 12/4: First Round 12/11: Quarterfinals 12/18: Semifinals The Next 2 Weeks are the weeks of Christmas and New Year's. I'd propose a 2-Week Gap before the State Championships. January 14, 15, 16 would be Blue Cross Bowl Weekend for the 2020 High School Football Season. Tell me what you all think. Stay safe!

LTCB Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 It is pretty much what east coast school already do. I've coached in VA, MD, and NY and we started school after Labor Day so that is a viable option with precedence. Rumblings are that TDOE not TSSAA is considering an after Labor Day school start.

It will still have to end the first week of December TSSAA will accommodate football in any and every way possible, even to the point of severely shortening basketball season. Losing money from basketball/spring fling was a punch to their gut, but football is where their operating revenue comes from... if it benefits football, don't expect anything to be "off the table". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
