The Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) has called an emergency/special Board of Directors Meeting for January 29th, and two things impacting football are on the table, with Class Rural possibly being eliminated and consolidated into Class 1A, while clarity regarding independent schools and schools that have left the FHSAA in football for the SSAA could be had. Plus, talk about an independent league for FHSAA schools that declare Independent Status is part of the agenda.
Your host Joshua Wilson breaks it all down with you in this episode of the Florida HS Football Show.
