    Options HS Football players will have once they cancel fall sports

    Let's talk options and what you see families and players doing. Do you see many of them moving to Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa, or Missouri to play? And if they do that will they use of their eligibility? Do you see many of them taking a "gap" year and returning next year for their junior or...

    Are Playoffs possible if Football is moved to the Spring?

    If as expected, Football gets moved to the Spring. How will it look like? Do you expect a 6 game season and then shortened playoffs? I think some sort of playoff format is necessary to give these teams a goal to shoot for during an already disappointing situation. If they start games in...

    Michigan & Iowa - playing football in fall as scheduled

    Totally get it and agree w/ you. Was hoping w/ the news of Michigan and Iowa committing to high school football this fall, and Indiana and Wisconsin most likely doing the same, thought what was offering some hope that Illinois would follow suit. Did not want to make this a political discussion...

    Michigan & Iowa - playing football in fall as scheduled

    Agree Edgy that Illinois has done a good job, we have flattened the curve and we have healthcare capacity to handle 3-4 times the amount of cases currently. Pritzger's Phase 4 states kids can go back to playing sports. High School Kids have had "unorganized" practices for the last two months...

    Michigan & Iowa - playing football in fall as scheduled

    Michigan and Iowa both released statements that at this point they plan to move ahead as scheduled to play HS football in the fall. No talk of a delayed start or shortened season, start on time and full slate of games. Hope that Indiana and Wisconsin follow suit as that would put pressure on...

    Pritzger mandating e-learning for IL = No Fall sports

    Solid Snake, you are missing my point. No spikes and numbers low is not a bad thing at all and we want to remain there. However we are at a point where we can take some risks (ie: play football and other sports) because we have the health capacity in case there is a mild spike. We have flattened...

    Pritzger mandating e-learning for IL = No Fall sports

    Word on street is that tomorrow Pritzger will announce and mandate e-learning in the fall for all IL schools which will mean no fall sports. We have had minimal deaths, 3% positivity rate, 75% available ICU beds and Ventilators, we’ve flatten the curve and he still wants to cancel in person...

    Did you listen to IHSA Anderson's radio interview yesterday morning??

    "The IHSA change may be due to a number of COVID-19 cases being reported at Lake Zurich High School’s summer camps that shutdown the workouts." - per article on highschoolfootballamerica.com Would be very, very sad if they cancel football for the state of IL due to a bunch of irresponsible...

    Did you listen to IHSA Anderson's radio interview yesterday morning??

    What the IHSA, IDPH, and Governor's office is review by 7/31 if any other programs (outside of Lake Zurich) have new positive cases as all teams are practicing right now. If cases are not prevalent then there is no reason they shouldn't at least attempt to have a season. My arguement still...

    Did you listen to IHSA Anderson's radio interview yesterday morning??

    Anderson stated clearly that everyone was good to go w/ their Phase 4 plan then IDPH and the Governor's office got wind that multiple players from Lake Zurich tested positive for Covid and that freaked them out and they made those drastic changes to no contact and mandatory face masks. Now I...

    Varsity only football in IL for 2020

    It is impossible to eliminate the risk of Covid w/ kids no matter if it is school, socially, etc. At least this proposal provides a blueprint to significantly reduce the risk of playing high school football and will especially allow seniors to play their final year of high school. Cancelling...

    Varsity only football in IL for 2020

    Zebra, you still can only have 50 people on the sidelines. You roster 42 players, 6 coaches on the field (others in the box), and 2 trainers. They are socially distancing and wearing masks when not on the field. By not having an earlier Sophomore game it will limit the numbers in the stands and...

    Varsity only football in IL for 2020

    I would agree w/ you mc140, however the kids that would be most impacted by cancelling the season would be the Varsity players (juniors and seniors). The Frosh and Sophs still have time and will play their Varsity years. This would substantially minimize the risk by reducing the amount of kids...

    Varsity only football in IL for 2020

    I have heard from multiple people that IHSA and the state of IL is considering only having the Varsity team play this season and Frosh, Soph, and JV cancelling their games. I am not a huge fan of that but I can see where that makes a lot of sense. First of all you will reduce the number of kids...

    Upcoming IHSA lawsuit

    If they cancel the season for High School football in IL there will be hundreds (maybe thousands) of lawsuits. Especially if Indiana, Iowa, and Wisconsin play football as expected. Parents will be in an uproar and sue the Gov office, IHSA, and IPHD. Hope we don't get to that point, just let the...

    So do people really blame...

    My assumption is no contact until August 10th. If numbers do not shoot up or if teams do not have cases then my hope is on August 10 they would allow contact. That would give teams 3 full weeks before game 1

    Dear IHSA & IDPH - Let's the kids play Football!!

    Let’s keep this thread on topic regarding finding a way w/ as minimum risk as possible for the boys to play football this season. I suggested waivers, limiting rosters to 40 players (which means some teams will have to make it a cut sport), reducing number of referees, stands not immediate...

    Dear IHSA & IDPH - Let's the kids play Football!!

    My point is that the risks of Covid for 16-18 year old kids are extremely minimal and the majority of them are asymtomatic and would have no symptoms. Loss of football for many 16-18 year old kids will have a psychological (depression, sense of loss, etc) and financial (loss of scholarships)...
