This is an interesting topic

 

Though i suggest maybe add teams who got in who probably should be switched out in their place if there is one so we can compare

ok, i sent emails to Oakleaf, Lake Brantley, Lakewood Ranch, Fivay, and Sebastian River about playing in a bowl game

Sebastian River coach Tony Perry told TCPalm he was not interested in playing a bowl game this year (they beat John Carroll in a bowl game last season.)

6A Norland missed the playoffs at 6-4...lost to IMG, St Frances(MD), Miami Central and South Dade.  Holy cow, what a schedule.  They were district runner-up behind Central and only lost to South Dade by 3, so are a competitive team.  This might be the best example of a casualty of the "newer" systems in which district runners-up don't automatically make the playoffs..

I agree. Norland was the biggest casualty and should have been in the playoffs. IMG and St. Frances are top 10 teams NATIONALLY, and South Dade and Central are top 10 teams in their class.

Great idea.  I have always believed in having more bowl game available for teams who don't make the playoffs, but have winning records. These games are a great way to have the seniors play together one more time, and let coaches get more practice time, and development for their underclassmen.

No dog in the fight, and i haven't checked their schedule on MaxPreps, but it looks like Norland either played really good teams or really bad teams.   Their OWP was below .500 (.467, good enough for 53rd in 6A).

    • 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. 
    • So if Dillard wanted to do some of these things you would say no and not support.
    • And that’s where I’m at with it. I’m sure teddy heart is in the right place. But if we’re gonna keep it real, between last year and this upcoming year MNW has received well over 50 transfers a lot of them that are from different counties and stay nowhere near MNW.    some of them maybe because of changing environments for a better life etc etc, but it’s also 2025 and lot of the transfers was to follow the hype train.    while the uber rides can be a touchy subject depending on the kids situation, he also mentioned he needed thousands in donation for recovery, I get it he went pro and a lot of these assets he had in the league, but a lot of what he’s asking for isn’t even a high school requirement.    when I played ball out recovery was a ice bath lol. He then went on to say 4,000 a week for food ? , what are they eating lobster.    then he said for the three day gym stay he had to front 14,000 dollars for the kids. 14,000 to sleep in the gym for 3 days for what I’m assuming is for team building, is still insane. 
    • 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.
