No plan gonna make everyone happy so make decision that will make the most happy

I just want the best opportunity for the best teams to meet at States. We are definitely getting closer....

Well let them try this before we try changing it up lol

[BrowardHandicapper 1,886]

No, logical!

 

If you the fhsaa who you gonna please

 

95% of the state or 5%?

I'll side with the area with the best teams. I go to States to watch quality football...not to make you happy, with your socialistic equality ,and watch blowouts.

 

I simply want the best teams to meet. Again, we are getting closer. I like the new format but I just feel the week Districts should have to play the best wildcards...

[Zoe Boy 1,016]

And yes I think central playing another Miami team in 1st round is fair, they got the talent so put them against teams at their level and in a area where it reasonable travel for both teams

Or you just want the Miami teams to knock each other out so the rest of the state can have a better chance to win states .... I'm down for Central to travel somewhere else to play a number 1 seed in that region... Not guaranteed Central would win.. Go play a Armwood or a Vanguard or a Niceville... I guarantee Central would find that money to go travel to go play that 1st round playoff game...

Not every school can

 

And before you bring Columbia in this even though I'm sure we wouldn't like it we would find a way to make it work but some of the poorer schools can't afford it and would forfeit playing the game due to inability to pay the travel

 

Then Broward idea looks terrible

 

I think idea on paper a good one but it logistically would never work

You think all dade schools or broward schools are rich? Them kids don't be out their asking for donations or selling items or etc for the hell of it... I'm pretty sure you guys have a booster club... Stop with the excuses about poorer schools to rent a couple of coach buses to make a 4 to 5 hr trip down south .... cause any school down here have to make a trip up north for a playoff game, guess why it's going to happen...

I just said we would find a way but yes we have a booster club so we could fund it

 

Some don't

[ColumbiaHighFan2017class 2,342]

And only time we have gotten coach busses in last 3 years I've been out here was Escambia this year because they were required to by county policy so think about a school like Terry Parker who basically have no booster help and in a poor area

 

How they gonna pay for that?

[BrowardHandicapper 1,886]

For a school with such "great HS football tradition" that you always talk about - Your booster program must SUCK!

[ColumbiaHighFan2017class 2,342]

Smh

 

 

You didn't read anything i just said

 

 

I just said we would find a way because we would find a way to fund it but some can't

Well my reply to that is simply:

 

 

"No, logical!

[ColumbiaHighFan2017class 2,342]

Bc most people would say a 10 hour travel in 1st round is insane

[Tigerfan1 199]

I agree with Broward your Booster club needs to step up it's game. You need to cultivate some big money donors that will step up and get the charter bus thing handled.

They don't consider a charter bus a necessity unless the travel is 3 hours or more

That idea is based on some of the same logic that this new format proposes.  The idea is to reward teams that play real schedules and no more running for the teams playing scrubs!

 

Also, almost every other major playoff/tournament style applies similar logic.  That is why in the NCAAB tourney, a #1 seed from the best conference gets an easier bracket and a weaker #1 seed gets a few strong  wild card dangerous ACC teams or something.  

 

Logistically, why should 95% of the schools adapt to the 5% like Columbia?  Get with the program!

[ColumbiaHighFan2017class 2,342]

Broward the 5% is the 5% of the people who would be for a statewide travel in 1st round as most sensable people won't vote for that

 

Secondary Columbia is not one of the teams im worried about

 

If we have to we can fund to make the travel because if we say our booster club needs to get this much money in or we would have to forfeit a playoff trip we would find a way to fund it

 

 

Some teams that are lacking booster clubs in poorer areas or big cities don't have that luxury

Gotcha....Well I guess in the end the difference is when I team like Columbia becomes a wildcard they have have a mentality like " O damn...we have to travel all those hours to go play that team"  versus here in SFL " We coming for you, no more running!"  

 

We'll get bus fares covered one way or the other .....We love playoff OPPORTUNITIES down here!

[ColumbiaHighFan2017class 2,342]

Broward for the millionth time Columbia is not the team I'm worried about with that

 

It's teams who don't have booster clubs that I'm worried about

Who is saying that? List the most ppl... In pretty sure if pahokee had to take a 10hr ride for a playoff ride they wouldn't mine...

The athletic directors for the schools who voted on the change

 

Guarantee you a majority would vote against the idea Broward saying

So your mainly talking bout the rural area? Cause that's the only ppl I can hear crabbing about traveling...

where you think a poor school like terry parker out of jax who likely has little to no booster support gonna get the money to travel to miami for a playoff game?

Are they in the playoffs?

[ColumbiaHighFan2017class 2,342]

Are they in the playoffs?

No but down the line if they get in playoffs how will it work?

 

You saying they should have to forfeit just bc they can't afford a game?

[BrowardHandicapper 1,886]

You saying they should have to forfeit just bc they can't afford a game?

 

And your saying to us that that the quality of playoff and state championship football in FL should evolve around Terry Parker being broke?
