57 teams per class is a travesty. What an embarrassment.

I agree. If you start to define equity to someone, communism immediately comes to mind. There’s no way possible to achieve equity in any regard. Everyone can’t be tied for first. Hell you can have 3 siblings raised in the same house their entire life by the same 2 parents given the same exact resources and all 3 will have vastly different outcomes when they become adults. So if you can’t achieve equity in the simplest formula possible, then there is no way to achieve it. It only acts as a guise to punish merit by incompetent people with way too much power

That’s the crazy thing to me. A rich family member says let’s go on a vacation how is that not an impermissible benefit? It is a gift that is not attainable by any other student or athlete. And if the reasoning is its family, then how close of a family member does it have to be to be “legal”? I really don’t know how you can police what is permissible and impermissible

When Marcus Vick was at Virginia Tech, his brother Michael Vick was making tens of millions of dollars in the NFL. Being his brother, Marcus was showered with luxury cars, jewelry and housing. How is this not impermissible benefits? Because they share blood? And if so, how much blood is enough? What if it was a step dad who was loaded? Is he allowed to give you all the money you want as a student athlete? What about a family friend? A friend of your parent who was friends with the family before you were born? Is he allowed to shower you with gifts? How detached from the athlete does the person have to be for it be considered “impermissible benefits”????

Imagine the jealously and disdain you have to have for someone that brought you a state title, bringing in top flight talent, so much exposure, huge showcase game against a national brand opponent, all while forking out your own money to do it for some punk clowns to undermine you and try and push you out. SMH. You know in SFL you can get really good or really bad real fast. So I wouldn’t shocked if this all ends in a dumpster fire that kids start to jump ship and they struggle to maintain the standard

Some kids NEED to transfer to get in the best position to change the trajectory of their entire life. Could literally save their life. Difference between going to college and being stuck in your neighborhood getting lost to streets. And I can only speak for myself, but I’m more interested in a at-risk kid changing his situation for the better in hopes of saving his life than your favorite high school team losing a game because he transferred from your favorite school.

I wouldn’t be so critical of the FHSAA if they didn’t lie and say they give 2 craps about student athletes. I wish people would just be honest. But I guess if they were honest, it would mess up their hustle.

Wait are you saying there is a rule that bars an adult mentor who coaches young men a sport from helping a struggling student athlete and his family with transportation? Whoa that’s next level crazy. “Hey coach I’m on the side of the road and almost got hit. I’m miles from school and it’s 110 degrees out. Can you get me a ride?” ”Sorry. Some turds 6 hours away in Gainesville said I can’t. Hope you don’t get hit or pass out.”

Apparently the word “Uber” triggered the investigation. Kids aren’t allowed to catch Ubers. They are not on the approved vendor list where the FHSAA gets a kickback. So out of zone kids need to hitchhike, take a city bus or walk.

Most of that is probably kids leaving First Baptist.

Bayside went up to play Lowndes and lost 50-0 and 69-0 in back to back years for $25,000 total. I think that’s why so many garbage FL teams play good GA teams.

And did he “beg”? Or did he simply ask one sentence and see if anyone can help with fundraising? Every single team we have been apart of from 4 years old to high school has fund raised. I don’t remember begging anyone for money. But I guess I’m not a millionaire who coaches a transfer factory. Lol.

Could be for kids out of the zone who attend the school who are in a family situation that makes it extremely difficulty to attend practices, school, games etc all the time. Could be a single parent who works 2 jobs who has a kid transfer to MNW in hopes that the exposure could earn him a scholarship. We have no idea unless it’s explained. Ubers are expensive as hell. More than taxis used to be. My son’s school is 8 miles from our house. He needed a ride one day for football practice so we looked up Uber and they wanted $40!!

Niceville vs Bay Choctaw vs Milton Navarre vs Pensacola Mosley vs South Walton Fort Walton Beach vs Blountstown Northview vs Baker Graceville vs FAMU Wewahitchka vs Aucilla Christian Branford vs Dixie County Bell vs Oak Hall Trenton vs Fort White North Bay Haven vs Joshua Christian

Can someone explain to me why Florida can’t do this? https://www.ghsa.net/2025-2026-ghsa-football-schedule
