  1. Hey, why can't we just have the FHSAA and MaxPreps come up with a secret formula to rate all the teachers and then pay them based on that?
  2. Nolebull, just out of curiosity, how many of these games are away games vs. a non-district opponent?
  3. Understood. But how does this impact or affect the FHSAA's position on recruiting? Do the powers-to-be want schools to be able to recruit?
  4. According to Raymond's X account, Raymond has official visits scheduled as follows: 3/7: USF 3/23: Syracuse 3/29: West Virginia 3/30: Rutgers 4/1: Venice High School (Note: 80% of this post is factually accurate)
  5. Serious question (for everyone): I know the FHSAA had to back down on the school choice issue, but has the governor, the legislature or anyone else in Tallahassee explicitly or implicitly threatened the FHSAA for cracking down on recruiting? In other words, why can't the FHSAA be more proactive when it comes to investigating schools that recruit? If memory serves me correct, the FHSAA was very active a decade or so ago with respect to making sure kids went to the schools for which they were zoned (and making sure there were no apartment deals or other impermissible benefits). Why can't they do the same thing now with recruiting? Is someone putting pressure on them to turn a blind eye to recruiting? Who? And if you believe that to be the case, please be as factually detailed with your response as possible. Thanks.
  6. I'm struggling to find the "Yeah, that's funny, but it's also really sad because it's true" emoji.
  7. See, I knew not being able to play 8 home games this year would come back to haunt Venice.
  8. Interesting. I look foward to hearing "the rest of the story" at some point in the future.
  9. I just don't see you can reconcile NIL, on the one hand, and recruiting, on the other hand, in high school sports. Colleges are allowed to recruit. It's a major part of whether a team/coach is successful. And once a school has signaled its intent to recruit a particular player, the collective affiliated with that particular college or university can then step in and try to negotiate a NIL deal with the player being recruited. Somewhat oversimplified, but I think that's accurate. High schools are not allowed to recruit. If anyone associated with a school (coach, parent, booster, etc.) offers/promises to do anything for a prospective transfer student to lure that student to their school, that's recruiting. And, as the rules are currently written, that's illegal. Similarly, if anyone (most likely a parent or booster) does anything for a particular player that isn't done for all other students, that's considered to be an impermissible benefit. And that's also illegal. So, how do you re-write the rules to allow NIL without removing the "no recruiting" and "no impermissible benefits" sections of the rules? Almost by definition, anyone that forms a collective or who personally signs someone to an NIL deal would be considered "a representative of the school’s athletic interests." If you re-write all these rules to allow NIL, what will you be left with?

  11. nolebull, thank you for taking the time to post all of these. And, thank you to gatorman-uf for posting the coaching updates.
  12. Four road games?!?! How is Venice going to make their numbers work??
  13. Any time something is "all about perspective," I'm in favor of it! Joking aside, I'm OK with the idea of 'more football,' and completely agree that you can call the successful teams almost anything you want as long as you don't call them 'state champions.' Ironically, the concept is being tested in the rural areas, where kids are more likely to play multiple sports. This idea may actually get some push-back from high school basketball coaches in rural areas, as prolonged football seasons will keep kids off the basketball court that much longer.
  14. Isn't this basically what the Sunshine State Athletic Association did at the end of this past season -- where every team participated in some form of post-season play and the teams were grouped together based on their records/rankings? I'm wondering if this is a proactive effort to keep football alive and kicking in the rural areas. Regardless, I'm not a fan of the 'bottom half' of any classification being able to compete for a "state championship."
  15. So, the Rural B State Champion would, at best, be the 17th best rural team in the state, huh? Hmmmm.
