Title: Spring football instead? One conference already moved that way.
Post by: Chechem on July 22, 2020, 04:54:43 AM
The Southwestern Athletic Conference moved its football season to the spring, the league announced late Monday afternoon. That’s monumental news for many reasons, and one of them is that Birmingham’s biggest football game of the year will not be played in 2020.

Interesting... So could a high school player that may be planning to go to a SWAC school to play football play both his high school season and his first year of college football all in the same school year? Or even possibly play three seasons of football in 15 months? High school (fall of 2020), 1st year of college (spring of 2021), then 2nd year of college (fall of 2021)

I am not worried about these small leagues. I do however, look forward to seeing how the Power 5 conferences handle this year. RTR!
