I am surprised that the dollars and cents don't seem to have been worked out by now.

I do hope the game takes place. I believe it would be a good one for both teams.

You would think it would be , being that the game is less then 5 days away

I took this as they are mad they aren't spending the night not that they won't have a bus.  

Yeah they feel some kind of way because how they feel is why do the cheerleaders & band get to go up Friday. 
 

but the football team has to travel the day of. Even though the drive is only 3 hours. Guess it’s the principle of it all.

You would think they would have it the other way around. But I guess they probably didn't secure somewhere to do walkthroughs Friday in Orlando eventhough they could possibly do it in the parking lot or banquet hall of the hotel. not tryna make assumptions though

Yeah because the game is Saturday night & as of right now the football players are set to leave for Orlando Saturday morning. 
 

but I’m sure before the end of this week that will change lol.

The entitlement of kids(probably the adults) today is amazing.  Maybe the cheer and band raised money to spend the night.   Did football raise money or do you just expect it to be given to you. Oh no we got to drive 4 hours play a game and then drive back home.  I hope Jones beats that ass.  

Entitlement more contagious than covid…..but lasts a lifetime.

AHP drove to Clearwater in the morning during the covid year, played the game, and then drove back after. No hotels. One hell day. Then they turned around and did it again to go play Bartram Trail. 
 

It can be done 

Something close to what Dillard did in 2020 as well. We had to travel to pahokee they Monday as a rescheduled matchup cuz of the hurricane. We traveled Monday afternoon got back late Monday night, and had another game Friday.

If we are talking about drive time, your example is apples and oranges.   Ft. Lauderdale to Belle Glade is barely over an hour each way.  Plantation to Clearwater is 4 hrs each way and to Jacksonville about 4 1/2 hrs.    Not even in the same ball park for the comparison Nolebull is referencing for the drive between MNW and Jones in Orlando.

I’m referencing to when both schools had to play two games in a span 4 days. 
 

it’s obvious the drive times from FTL to pahokee is nowhere the drive time of FTL to Orlando lol. I wish it was I’ll be in Orlando every weekend lol haha.

Maybe the AD and coaches knows those kids on the team and want to avoid an overnight stay and possible trouble and team embarrassment?  I dont know any of the MNW kids so I could be completely 180 degrees wrong with this but I do know how hard it is to control some of the wild kids who respect no rules.

That could be a possibility, but with the uproar from the alumni ; they’re gonna get their way b4 this week out, probably already did lol.

For those that don't know Northwestern don't play about their school they'll show up and show out.  I'm sure this situation is fixed 

There are some who might say that Jones and Northwestern are just having a little scrimmage to try new things out, see who will make the varsity, generally not care about winning or losing, and it will basically be like an NFL preseason game. How accurate is this?

:D

      Teddy Bridgewater begs for donations

      By Perspective · Posted

      Nolebull, You are making a good argument for what the rule ought to be or why the rule ought to be changed.   I'm telling you what the rule is.  Interestingly, I witnessed first hand the FHSAA deal with a case that was very similar to the (presumably, hypothetical) one you just described.  A family provided a kid with a bed for the night because that kid had an unfortunate family situation that would have left him homeless for the night had a teammate's family not stepped up and given him a place to stay for the night.  Yep, you got it, impermissible benefit.  Coach and school penalized.  The difficulty is coming up with rules that can't be taken advantage of.  Where do you draw the line?   If paying for an Uber is OK, why can't you just buy the kid a car instead?  More convenient for all parties.  If you can buy a kid a meal, why can't you take his family grocery shopping and let them stock up?  Or, better yet, just give then a gift card and let them spend the money as they please.  What do you do when one school offers up a $1,000 gift card, but another school is willing to give the kid a $2,000 gift card?  Do we really want to turn high school sports into professional sports?

      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.”

      Say what you want, justify it however you want, wish the rules weren't what they are, but there is no question that a coach or other school representative paying for Uber rides for kids playing sports is a violation of the existing FHSAA rules.  Period.  And Teddy Bridgewater may be or have been an elite athlete, may be or become an excellent high school football coach, and/or may have his heart in the right place, but tweeting out a message to the world that you have done something that undoubtedly constitutes a violation of the rules is just plain stupid.
