    • Well you are a lot closer to the 30,000 word mark with this latest unhinged rant. Coaching salaries in Florida have been a problem for at least 30 years, probably longer. This law aims to help the issues with young men and women who play high school sports getting the help that they deserve and need, coaching salaries is a complete other issue. It would be great if we could get thousands and thousands of people to attend high school football games in Florida, similar to Georgia and Texas, and that could help with coaching salaries for sure. Do you really believe that there are not boosters helping to pay coaches in Georgia and Texas, I know for a fact that it happens, and if there could be a way to get more people to care and attend high school football games in Florida, that would be a good first step in improving coaching salaries. One more thing "Toilet Man" DON'T FORGET TO FLUSH! 
    • Jambun, you’re down there at the bottom of the page sounding like a frustrated JV chain-gang official whose whistle broke in the first quarter. You want to whine about a "30,000-word response" when it was barely 400 words of real economic reality. But I suppose missing the mark by that wide of a margin is pretty symbolic of your supposed career wearing stripes—no wonder you’re so used to people screaming at your blind spots. You're so wrapped up in your "Just the facts, ma'am" Joe Friday routine that you completely missed the elephant in the room. While you’re celebrating the Tallahassee press release, the actual landscape of Florida high school football is getting completely redrawn. Go down to Broward, Dade, or Venice and ask those coaches if they care about the "philosophy" of the rules. They care about the books. They care about the fact that Georgia has been poaching the best offensive minds in the south for a decade because our stipends wouldn't cover a tank of gas and a 12-pack of sweet tea. The $15,000 allowance is a drop in the bucket compared to explicitly letting the country club booster circuits pass the collection plate around to legally pad coach salaries and buy 'em new trucks. If looking for "Neutral Observers" under your bed gives you some kind of peace of mind to avoid the actual conversation, go right ahead and keep digging, detective. I’m a lifetime gambling man—I’d put fifty bucks on a couple of land crabs racing across a hot boat ramp before I’d bet on you actually addressing the points made here—but even I wouldn't touch the over/under on how fast rosters are gonna turn over now. The highest bidder is about to run the districts. Put your whistle away and look at the scoreboard
    • But you still have the private schools that takes good talented kids and build a powerhouse team.
