Welp looks like we are back and ready to roll.... For now at least.

Uncle Matt settling everyone's nerves!

This is far from over....

I predict an emergency KHSAA Board of Control meeting in the near future. 

Any mention, discussion, and media regarding politics or political figures is expressly prohibited on BluegrassPreps. This includes, but is not limited to the mention or names of any elected or publicly appointed officials, both domestic and foreign, by name, title, or by the offices held (e.g. - president, governor, chancellor, mayor, minister, senator, congressman, commissioner, attorney general, county clerk, magistrate, Beshear, Clinton, Lincoln, Merkel, Obama, Putin, Reagan, Roosevelt, Trudeau, Trump, etc). Any direct references or inferences to political terminology and activities, (e.g. - government, Democrat, Republican, GOP, conservative, liberal, campaign, lobby, legislature, filibuster, caucus, etc) and anything else deemed political in nature by the BGP staff is also prohibited from the site. Likewise, this also includes 3rd party links to articles that are political in name or in nature. Additionally, the use of names/nicknames deemed by the BGP staff as references to political figures (e.g. - Andy, Donald, Tricky Dick, Slick Willy) will not be permitted on BluegrassPreps.

Keeping in mind BGP's core purpose as a sports-discussion community, discussion of the the managing bodies specifically serving over high school, college, amateur, and professional sports leagues (KHSAA, NCAA, IOC, MLB, MLS, NBA, NFL et al), along with the officers, officials and the titles held by the individuals within those organizations is permitted on BGP. Similarly, high school and college/university administrators and officials, when discussed in a strictly non-political manner, are all permissible on BGP.

Members of BGP agree to follow the all of the below-listed posting rule

What makes you say that? Their decision is a week old now. By the time they could put together any type of emergency BOC meeting their decision would be almost two weeks old, made it past just about every person/organization that could overturn it and would be about a week away from football’s first game (soccer would be less). What makes you think they are going to 180?

12. No complaining about the web site, its members, or its management on the forums or in public. If you have a complaint (or if you have any constructive criticism) you need to send an email to [email protected] and I will get back with you as soon as possible to address the issue. When a moderator warns of possible rule violation or makes a request in a thread, do not ignore the warning/request and do not argue. Ignoring a violation warning, ignoring a moderator request or arguing with a moderator over their enforcement of forum rules may result in your suspension.

KDE received 12,000 phone calls between 7:00 AM and 1:00 PM. Probably even more emails. Has to be a record.

Last night was very uneasy. Today, things seem much better. Thank you to everyone who has supported our kids playing.

And, I genuinely believe having our kids in athletics will hold down Covid numbers. Turning them loose right now would be a disaster. 

Also, one reason I have supported BGPreps and theGuru over the years is how he keeps the conversation civil. Without civility, there is no dialogue. 

Especially in 2020, we need all the civility and dialogue we can get. 

This link to KDE board meeting at noon.

 

Games in Ohio are dropping quickly.  

About 1250 watching via YouTube right now.

KBE chair Lu Young opens the meeting, and is very clear to state that her intention in calling today's special meeting was never to overrule the KHSAA, but intended instead to educate the board members further in the decision made by the KHSAA.

Julian Tackett is then given the floor, and Julian is currently giving a re-cap/play-by-play of the KHSAA's decision to suspend high school sports, and the decisions made since regarding student eligibility, KHSAA sport funding, etc.
