Below is an email that was sent out on the MSFOOTBALL list serve back in the late fall by KYMSFA VP JEFF MANN.


Coaches and Administrators,
The KDE and the KHSAA will be having discussions on Dec 6th and 7th to determine restrictions that the KHSAA will possibly put on Middle School football or athletics in general. We don't oppose the KHSAA but would prefer to work with them to continue what we do in the area of Middle School football. The KYMSFA has worked diligently over the last 4 years to make Middle School football in the State of Kentucky something that the kids who participate will remember for the rest of their lives. We have tried to work with the KHSAA over the years but any restrictions of games etc will limit the opportunities that the KYMSFA will be able to provide. The KYMSFA wants to be able to continue to serve our Middle School members and provide competitive opportunities. We have over the past 4 years provided opportunities for the players to be successful and excel in the sport of football by providing various venues such as 7 on 7 tournaments, The KYMSFA State Championship Playoffs, East/West All Star games and now the newly developed KY Team which is competing in a National tournament, not to mention the the various organization that we have worked with like FBU and OD to provide camps and All Star selection to play in a much larger venue in the Alamo Dome in San Antonio Texas in a national All Star event.

Bottom line, we need your support, if your could please take the time to draft a email support letter for our organization and send it to [email]gmitchell@kymiddleschoolfootball.com[/email] before tomorrow. The KYMSFA appreciates your support and we look forward to serving you in the future. Please let your administrators know as well and hopefully we have their support as well.

Thank you,
Coach Mann

So its pretty much EXACTLY what i said.
Its up to the KMSFA in the end. If they want to be assholes to the KHSAA, they can be and ignore them.
However i dont see that happening. They'll work with the KHSAA to an agreement where everyone is happy.
IMHO, the KHSAA should have never said a word.
Middle school football has NOTHING to do with them.
If i was KMSFA's board members id say, mind your own business, and we'll set our own rules.
