I think if this happens, we would see a lot of kids playing only 1 or 2 sports. 3 sport guys would be almost non-existent.

If this happens, Basketball players who play Baseball will miss the 1 month + before the first game. And depending on how far your Basketball team goes, they may even miss a few baseball games. Even if they push baseball back too (It already plays weeks after school is let out) it is a horrible idea.

I know that this is crazy, but why not switch baseball and football seasons. Let baseball play their season in July, August, and September and then let basketball still have October thru March and then football could have March, April, May and June.

I can hardly wait for the seasons to start now....might not make it an extra 2 weeks!

This could hurt a lot of football players that have a breakout senior season in the recruiting game.

Agree. Didn't think about that. Baseball has the same issue though, but i guess not as many scholarships given in baseball. Just a crazy idea it threw out there. I love baseball, but hate the high school baseballl season because of the weather.

The whole problem stems from football going to 6 divisions. Way too many teams make the playoffs, the bye week etc. They shold start a week earlier and do away with the bye week. Also going back to 4 divisions would be helpful, even though I know they never will.

I agree. If they want to start a week later then do away with the bye week. It is going to hurt athletes from playing more than 1 sport.

Hmmmmm,

 

Strongest high school football states in the country.......Texas.......Florida.......California..... and we are saying "heat" is an issue in Kentucky? Get real, the reason Football got extended is the new classifications! Thats all! Dangerous game the KHSAA is playing, trying to keep football folks happy. If they do anything to diminish the Sweet 16 they'll go broke!

I know this is a boys forum but what about Girls Basketball would it be pushed back also? It is already 1 month after Volleyball.

 

Is this for all basketball?

They were pretty specific about it pertaining to BOYS VARSITY BASKETBALL.

 

The gals might benefit dramatically IF this would get enacted and they would play girls games for a couple of weeks before the boys season kicks in.

 

It's all speculation at this time and wouldn't get enacted until the 2009 Football season anyway.

It would have to be for all basketball according to title 9 I'm pretty sure! Can't do anything different! I just wish they would play girls basketball during football season and volleyball during boys basketball, like they do in a lot of other states, but that is another topic all together.
