Does anyone feel the early starts cause them to lose players (want to keep their jobs longer, other sports, vacations, etc.)?

August 7th in Iowa, which I think means Thursday 8/24 or Friday 8/25 is when most teams will play their first game. Teams are allowed to scrimmage the weekend before that.ay The Kentucky date is the one that always blows me away in terms of how early it is. football has to end before basketball gets going..... GET IT OUT OF THE WAY AND OVER WITH in Kentucky
I honestly figured in Kentucky that was part of the reason, if not the entire reason. In Iowa, there is an obsession to not have the football and basketball seasons overlap. Somewhat understandable, but that line of thinking doesn't apply to any other sports season and we actually have four sports seasons as softball and baseball are summer sports here.

100% factual even though football is more competitive nationally from KY than our BBall is. We never have basketball teams as competitive with other states as Trinity, Bolwing Green, Highlands, etc are in football. We've lost June 7 on 7s, and heaven forbid we start the season later and football players miss the preseason basketball scrimmages.
