rjs4470 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 13 hours ago, tcjkbt said: If your local public school system was to ban football, what are the chances that the transfer application of a student who wants to transfer to a private school solely to improve his chances to get a football scholarship will be approved? Is this a circumstance /exception that the KHSAA would look into? I would think this would at least get consideration for an approval. Again though, 95% of HS football players go on to play in college, and only about 2% actually get money in the form of an athletic scholarship. In reality, there are very few students who will be able to use this argument as a reason to transfer, and as such it would be very difficult for someone to prove.

On KHSAA transfer form it has cessation of a sport as exception to transfer rule. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerpride94 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 If this is right, how much of a delayed start do you envision? Mid to late September? October? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerpride94 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Virginia just adopted this model: Season 1 (Winter) December 14 – February 20 (First Contest Date – December 28) Season 2 (Fall) February 15 – May 1 (First Contest Date – March 1) Season 3 (Spring) April 12 – June 26 (First Contest Date – April 26) They are condensing all 3 seasons into December 14 through June 26th.

barrel Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I’ve heard rumors that we will get two more weeks of the current state. After that practice will start and weeks 1-3 will be eliminated so teams will play weeks 4-11 with a full playoffs. I have no clue how true that is or where those people got their information. The meeting is tomorrow at 10 so by this time tomorrow we’ll have an idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't know how you justify football (and sports in general) when many districts are starting the year off in NTI. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If schools weren’t starting until mid September or even early October the comparison might be a little different. Also not all schools at this moment are starting NTI. It’s a complex set of factors for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is the Friday after Labor Day. That takes away the first three weeks but doesn’t cost any district games other than Scott County/Great Crossing and Owensboro/Breckinridge County, which would either have to be rescheduled or counted as a win/loss for both (Tackett referenced this in the last meeting). They might even allow games to be plugged in during scheduled bye weeks, although making that work could be difficult. It will be interesting to see if the same playoff format is used or if it might be reduced. Could we see Week 11 eliminated and have playoffs begin a week early? I suspect everything is on the table. Bottom line, if Buchanan is referencing a delayed start and the KHSAA agenda has three sets of sports to be discussed, then a modified season is inevitable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, this seems reasonable. I know there has been talk of player injuries and field issues and that’s legitimate. To counter that, I would probably push the fall season of 2021 back a couple of weeks (maybe reduce one game), keep everything else the same for that season, and hopefully by May 2022 every season is back to normal schedule.

16thBBall Fan Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I am hearing that Kentucky will delay as far as football goes until week 5 of the football season and play 6 games. Your 4 or 5 district games for most schools and 1 or 2 more regular games then the post season. I guess we will hear for sure tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a bit of football players are involved in other sports. Tough for those sports who did not even get a full season a year ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefSmoke Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I believe we will get good news tomorrow. The consensus is that switching spring & fall sports would not be good for most student-athletes. Athletic Staff/Facility Logistics, risking no baseball/softball two years in a row in case of a spike, and very difficult/tough on the bodies for kids to play a football season in the spring and then turn around and play again in the fall... not enough recovery time. Mr. Tackett has been great in seeking input from the KY HS Football Coaches Association both through the Elected Council and Regional Reps. I don't know what the final plan will look like, but the process has included our coaches and we are appreciative that has been the case. Bottomline, for the most part, we want our kids to have a season and we are willing to do what is necessary to make it happen... and protect the vulnerable the best that it can be done. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tkinslow Posted July 27, 2020 Author Share Posted July 27, 2020 I don’t understand why the teams would lose games why can’t they just push the whole season back three weeks it’s not like it’s so cold in Kentucky that you can’t play the championships right before Christmas and the whole with less games you stand less chance of getting the virus is not a intelligent argument to me you are just as likely to get the virus in 7 games as you are 10.

I’d rather play a partial season than no season at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
