Just me or does it seem like Johnson is getting slept on this upcoming season?

I have heard multiple schools report that Johnson has asked for a home game and half the gate. I would suggest traveling, and asking for none of the gate if you wanted a game.

That might work. Agree to bear all of the expenses for travel in exchange for none of the ticket proceeds and no two year agreement. You must be a trained negotiator to have come up with that strategy. Ashland might even be tempted to play a game under those terms.

I'm not negotiating, I dictate. But then again my favorite school doesn't need a game

Nobody is in a position to dictate terms to Johnson Central and JC is not trying to impose unreasonable terms on anybody else. Somebody has to pay for the expenses of fielding a football team. JC is offering a quality opponent in exchange for sharing travel expenses. If every quality opponent insists on playing at home and taking all of the gate, then JC should walk away.

Contrary to what you seem to think, a 4A team that has won multiple state titles and been in the finals five straight years is one of the "big boys" of Kentucky high school football.
