What do you think of the latest proposal for the football season? Seven district games and all teams advancing to the playoffs, forfeits will not be factored into the records for seeding purposes. I hope it gets us through the season.
High school football schedule
- Thread starter dafarmer
- Start date
Let's see.....because of positive testing, a team only plays 2 games, losses both.......and makes the playoffs. While a team that played and won all 7 games....misses the playoffs because their positive testing came right before the playoffs. What's not to like? It's a plan drawn up by a child.
With all of the variables, it's about the closest they could get to a normal season.
*3A, 2A, 1A, and A still play their entire district schedule. Schools are free to choose how many non-district games (0, 1, or 2) they want to play, based on their own local circumstances.
*8-man districts will play most, if not all, of their district schedule.
*4A will likely play conference/regional opponents (which has the side effect of appeasing the "traditionalists").
*No school is punished for playing a fewer number of games than another.
*Schools have the option to simply opt out of the season.
*Everybody in the playoffs (which also appeases the "participation trophy" crowd).
I'm curious to see how the 8-man playoffs are structured, though, given that there are currently 68 teams in that class, and the preliminary playoff structure calls for a field of 64.

Apples-Oranges. Can you see teams in a Big Twelve football tourney playing 4 games in four nights?
It's irresponsible to play HS football this fall. I know colleges are playing but HS won't be policed anywhere close to NCAA standards. Contact and body fluids could be a deadly combination. At minimum participants should be quarantined from the rest of the student body throughout the season. This is just another example of how out of touch Boone really is.
My son plays both sports. He's a senior and I can't see where I'm comfortable with him on the field this fall.
Flipping spring and fall sports makes way to much sense for Boone to consider it.
There is a lot of momentum toward one positive test will not shut the entire team down. One kid will sit out and the rest of the team will continue to be closely monitored.
Honestly, its the only model that has any chance going forward. Keep in mind, the kid is also going to school. 1 positive test cannot shut an entire school down.
First.....I hope you are right with one case not shutting things down.....I really do. As for models...those on the front of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue have more of a chance of being correct. And the 1 positive test cannot shut down an entire school....don't be so sure. It did last spring, and teachers who don't want to open this fall have already sent their obituaries to the governor.
high school kids were tested constantly? right. There's also no long term effects from covid thankfully that would come back to bite them in the ass later.
