I heard there is or was going to be an emergency LHSAA meeting tonight/tomorrow.

Apparently the AG has been telling schools and coaches the liability for COVID covered in ACT 9 does not go away if they play. Even if they thought it did, he said he has a army of lawyers ready to fight to protect them.

So here’s a question... under what we thought we were getting, we would have an 8 week regular season and 4 playoff rounds. Would an earlier start mean any more games than a total of 12? Would 12 be good enough for the #LetThemPlay crowd?

Are these rumors meant to guarantee HS football starts on October 8th?

Is this the meeting?

High school football is expected to get started next month, but many are concerned about how that will happen.

The panel will listen to ALL of the issues relative to high school athletic activities during the 2020-2021 school year. If you would like to give testimony before this committee, but do not feel comfortable showing up in person, you can submit a prepared statement. The committee records will show receipt of your comments which will be distributed to committee members.
