Real question not being snarky. So schools have opened and closed due to virus already, thinking of Lexington Catholic I think there were others but not sure. I know practices have been cancelled for some teams in different regions. Do you think that should play a factor? At what point does it play a factor? In Florida and Mississippi we now know kids carry the virus? Florida over 9K and in Mississippi every school district has it. In Tennessee, we do no know much, they did have a game last Friday! We will see. I think this deals more with a liability issue than anything else

So the schools have said that it was unsafe to start till the 28th under the Governor's recommendation. So what happens when Joey gets the virus. Parents sue because of negligence of the school and coach. They allow the student to participate and because they trusted the professional judgement of school and coach to start. As pointed out we do not know long term causes. How could a school district or coach confidently say that is ok to play. We know about the flu. Coaches easily use professional judgement on that.

I also want to point out KHSAA said in its board of directors meeting that there is no liability insurance for this matter.

Also having parents signing a waiver, does the coach have to report that parent to social services as mandated by law for abuse, if a coach does not they lose their certificate if they suspect abuse and do not report it also teachers as well. We simply do not know about the virus. This could be a litigation nightmare . As coaches, they need clarification.

Now lets talk about monies. Frankfort Highschool has already came out and said no fans in the stands. Is this the recommendation of the KHSAA? Also, if their are no fans how do we fund the sports programs and all of them, remember title 9 and the red book which is a headache in its self.

I do think we can have football, even though looking at other schools in the state, I start to question it more each day. I did forget to mention Indiana does have football and did mention Tennessee.
I am not arguing, I would like the above questions to be discussed. I think that is why looking at the agenda before board members can speak, the superintendents are speaking, I would bet it has to do with liability.

I look forward to reading and please notice I am being respectful.
