Came here to say this. This school is on a mission to have that 4-8 season memory wiped. Watched the intra squad red and grey game (A1 didn't play) and things looked like they were jelling. With the addition of Jube and the new transfers Explorers are instant contenders for the 6A state title.  This is not to say I don't appreciate all the work LAZ has done here. But yeah, I see them taking back district 16 from Palmetto with little problem.

If the FHSAA makes a mistake or does something grossly incompetent or negligible, who is fined and how do the fees get paid? 

Just think. If some pencil neck punks in air conditioned offices didn’t suspend Teddy Bridgewater for not wanting a player to get hit by a car, or catch a heat stroke in the 100 degree summer heat walking to practice, there wouldn’t be a bill for it.    DeSantis should have fined the FHSAA for having to waste their time with the needless oversight and pass common sense into laws. Who polices the police??

Yeah sure, we have different opinions on this.  I have been wrong before and I will be wrong again in my lifetime.  My opinion is not based upon an obsolete philosophy but one of fair play.  Your opinion is based upon what is best for the kids.  What is best for the kids isn't necessarily what is best for the sport, which is where I am coming from.  What is best for the NFL players is unlimited free agency and unlimited contracts.  The NFL values parity and competitiveness as what will keep the league going for the next decades and will keep every fan involved hopeful every offseason.  There is clear evidence that the unlimited model hurts the sports leagues when you end up with just a few super teams rather than spread the talent around.   As far as the governor understanding this point "even if I do not", then why is he also pushing for limits on non-traditional students and will sign the bill that will limit them to within their own county?  Is this not worse for the kids?  It seems to me this is in the spirit of fair play and competitive balance, which is my vision.  Please explain how this leadership has vision that I do not.  There is a middle ground somewhere between what is best for the kids and what is best for the long term health of the sport.  Unlike you, I am willing to accept middle ground if it is there.

Of course you would have a problem with this common sense, much-overdue, law that benefits high school players. I have seen many of your posts thorough the years on the message board, and I know what and how you think regarding school choice, academic freedom, and doing what is best for each individual situation and circumstance regarding young men and women and high school sports. Thank goodness that we have the leadership in Florida that exposes your obsolete philosophy, and renders it irrelevant. The focus of High School Sports is not on coaches, officials, administrators, fans, or message board posters. The focus of High School Sports is the players, the young men and women who compete, and their best interests are paramount. Our Lawmakers, and Governor understand this point even if you do not.
