Isn't this gonna hurt some of the players?

 

[planomateo]

I'm sure it will.

Expect there will be some who move so they can play.

How many football athletes with potential will now skip the season in order to be healthy for the Fall?

Same idea if the college season gets moved to the spring. Probably no Trevor Lawrence, Justin Fields, or Najee Harris just to name quiet a few.

State of Georgia (GHSA) just postponed football till September 4th. I'm sure all of this will be over by then so they can resume the season.

50+ IF it is as simple as distance, wash hands and wear a mask then we should be ok right? Not trying to throw fuel on the fire but use whatever you have and hope it helps some until there is a safe vaccine. Then you will have the next fight of getting people to take the vaccine.

I thought they cancelled Fall sports in Texas?

Not much of a delay. First day of practice 1A-4A - August 3. First game - August 27

Not a lot different than UA's announcement about fall classes going remote after Thanksgiving. With finals the second week of December, they're missing about a week of classes (or, at max, three classes/hours.) However, they've also killed one of the breaks in the fall so that's adding days back on the academic calendar.

It's a big deal for 5a and 6a players who want to enroll early. They won't be able to play their playoffs for their HS team

School system here in North Alabama just announced all remote classes in the fall. Have not heard what that means for fall sports.

AHSAA announced today that it’s “game on!” Fall practice starts Monday and opening games will be August 20-21! Cheerleading and band considered essential and no limits on fan attendance.
