My district decides tomorrow. All of the principals want to cancel sports but don’t think the director will due to Potential backlash from parents. Why do the principals want to cancel? As the deadlines are getting closer I think we are seeing a “new” issue arising with public environments like schools (and by extension athletics) Many members of the public wants them open , but those in charge are recognizing that they can not operate within the restrictions being placed on them. However, the arguments then become a back and forth over “safety” which may not be the issue. They’re already stressed to the gills with implementing all the new regulations for staff and students recommendations and sports is just another one on top of it that they’d like to remove and they know is going to be a logistical nightmare. Staffing the games, enforcing mask wearing and social distancing at games, reconfigurations to concession stands to speed up and limit crowding. When they feel like we’ll only play a game or two at best anyways, before the plug is pulled.

We have to shutdown all activities for 14 days if anyone on the team or anyone in their household test positive.
That’s going to make it interesting

It seemed pretty political. I don’t think there was any way of practicality stopping the spreading of this virus to areas not yet hit and wasn’t the purpose of the lockdowns. The lock downs worked and we flattened the curve and to buy time. It’s not unexpected that areas that don’t yet have herd immunity benefits will see it spread, especially among young people who are done with putting their lives on hold. Hopefully the southern and western states will hit their peaks soon and decline in active cases like the northern states that got slammed early. "Hope" is rarely a good plan. Texas looks to have peaked on hospitalizations so that’s promising since there’s a 7 day lag on deaths from hospitalizations.

I think that by Friday of July 17th the governor will make a decision about letting football start on time according to the TSSSA calendar. If he says go ahead and start then it will be up to the individual school districts to make the decision if they want to start or not. If the governor's office decided against letting football start now and holds to the Aug. 31st start date of practice then the TSSAA will vote on one of three proposed options with the first games on Sept. 18th. Again it will then be up to the individual school districts to decide if they want to start or not. If the situation has not improved by Aug. 31st then the TSSAA may look at at what Virginia has talked about with winter sports starting mid December, fall sports starting mid February and spring sports starting mid April. Of course it is also possible that the schedule for Tennessee stays exactly the same and "contact sports" (FB, soccer, basketball, wrestling) are simply cancelled. With Knoxville being considered a national hot spot now and numbers increasing across the states and P5 and colleges around the country delaying and making changes. I see see no way that the governor changes course on this.

Just to update this thread: Our state association was supposed to announce their chosen plan yesterday but they punted. They said they’re going to keep talking with the governor’s office and will decide at the end of the month. The governor has issued exemptions allowing college and pro sports to practice and play, which is what many in our state association are hoping will be extended to high school. The big issue to trying to determine how sports will work comes down to the piecemeal, district by district plans each school is using to determine when it’s safe to open. It’s hard to justify football if schools are closed and it’s considered unsafe to group them together on campus. That could also potentially make any season a scheduling nightmare of forfeits as some schools shut down Most of the schools near me are using a “community spread” model that averages new cases in the county over a 14 day span. Less than 5 new cases per day and it’s business as usual. Over 10 and it’s “consider distance learning,” the specifics of which are almost undefined but it does signal they will consider closing schools. Between 6-10 new cases per day is where it gets weird, with complex “social distancing measures” being instituted that appear unworkable for just about any school. Even if we hold games in a reduced season, will they be in front of an empty stadium? Football is expensive and without the gate money to recoup those expenses, it’s going to be hard for most schools to afford a season. Our association wants to play. It depends on football playoff money for its livelihood, especially after canceling the basketball tournaments in the spring. However, there might just be too many logistical and safety issues to have any kind of season this year. Not a good day considering we set a state record for cases yesterday too. I think a normal regular season is already off the table but they're keeping everyone in limbo

Our governor passed new executive orders yesterday that prohibited contact sports, so TSSAA said no practice or games till the order expired.
Not much detail besides that till tomorrow when they officially meet

Our state just released guidelines on no touch bathrooms, no water fountains, no vending machines, one way hallway foot traffic. Individually wrapped box lunches with wrapped disposable spoon/fork.
I don’t see doing all that during the school day and then at 3:15 letting us teach tackling and blocking

We just had a coach and some players to test positive at a middle Tennessee high school. Will be curious to see how it plays out.
Our state association has basically said they can't survive without football,

Our state organization in Tennessee basically said they can’t stay afloat, if football season is canceled. What do their expenses go to, and where do their revenues come from? Make the majority of their money from gates and the host city for championship games in football pays them a little more than 250,000 They already lost over a million dollars of revenue due to basketball championships being canceled and spring sports. Most of their overhead goes to insurance and administrative cost I’m sure.

It will be interesting to see if the state associations can survive the hit on revenue too.
We had to cancel state basketball and all spring sports. If they lose football and fall sports too, can they stay finically afloat with all of their over head

They’re making us come in and work though without students Out of curiosity what are you guys doing in there w/o kids? We have some schools doing that around us and it doesn’t sound overly productive. Helping with distribution of food and getting lessons to technology so they can put them online. Basically I think they know students won’t be returning this year and doing this to justify paying our contract.
