Hey everyone... thank you for you understanding what is going on with me via what @nolebull813 has shared!

A lot has been going on here and just to kind of give to you all simply:

 
 

1. Had to put down our cat before Helene. It was hard.

2. Before Milton, my truck hydroplaned turning onto the interstate on the on-ramp, and hit a semi that was illegally parked. Sadly FHP hit me with a ticket anyway. Lost my truck as it was totaled by insurance and even with negotiating still didn't get enough to get a replacement vehicle.

3. The website is struggling financially. I have been below water. I don't want to go into all the details for now, but changes are coming as I look for other work. Right now this is not even keeping the bills paid. Honestly, I have serious regrets about ever launching the app and listening to the person who told me I needed an app. You all have been fine coming to the forums and website without an app. I also should have never done away with the subscription service completely, but in this part, this is a blessing in disguise as there is a new way to do this without making it hard on everyone. Still I still have some financial constraints and will need some sponsors to get to Miami for the state championships this year.

4. The bright side is I have been continuing to do the live stream of shows on YouTube each week. Recently as of yesterday became a YouTube Partner Program and I have some options to explore using X (Twitter), and Facebook. I am also looking at some other options as well but don't want to reveal what my plan of action is going to be yet going forward after this season.

 

That is all for now, but if you have questions or want to chat with me, leave a comment or send me a message on here.

 

Thanks!

Josh

@Joshua Wilson, sorry to hear some of the things that have been going on. I have derived great value from your site over the years. Regarding item 2 on the list, I am no attorney, but I think it may be beneficial to consult with one. For all I know you may have already done so. 

Keep the faith.

      For clarity, it appears that Northwestern, not the FHSAA, administered the suspension.  Not sure that does, or does not, render the arguments here moot, but one could argue that the school is trying to get out ahead of this.

      Given the rules, the suspension seems reasonable. But, as others have suggested, the rules can easily be said to be absurd. Since when, in America, is the voluntary gifting of items or services a bad thing? Are we going to start infiltrating Christmas celebrations to see if anyone got presents deemed to be bad? "Have a look at what's under the Christams tree, there might be some Uber gift cards or other things and we can't have anyone giving those out!" If Teddy Bridgewater is OK paying for some uber rides etc, why is that a bad thing? Sure, it gives MNW an advantage in attracting players. So what? Maybe it'll be a waste of his money. Again, so what? There does need to be more robust conversations around all of this. Yes, the rules should be the same for everyone. Yes, if they aren't the same, and/or some break them while many others don't, that is unfair. But, what, in all seriousness, is the case against allowing free adults to give gifts to poor kids who happen to be good at sports? The only argument I've heard is that it's against the rules. I'm not seeing anyone argue the rule itself makes sense in a free society.

      Looks like the FHSAA has agreed with Perspective rather than NoleBull and has chosen to suspend HC Bridgewater while they investigate these impermissible benefits given to players.  Why have rules if you aren't going to enforce them and if you don't like them then work to have them changed.

      If it’s for something reasonable like a Gatorade and water donation & they reach out to the community of course I will help.    it’s all within reason tho. 14,000 for a 3 day gym stay is unreasonable. 2,000 a week for food. Me & a few alumni would just get together and cook.
