2020 Outlook for High School Football

[FootballFan4343]

Here are the cold hard numbers and in the end these numbers will determine what the future holds. As you can see, we are in a stalemate against this virus in S.C. We are not making any gains towards zero cases. Of course, this is based on the limited information that we have to work with. Until these numbers change, i don't see much promise in anything school related.

South Carolina Coronavirus numbers over the last month:
Week #1:
1,113 new cases and 54 new deaths
Week #2
1,136 new cases and 101 new deaths
Week #3
1,027 new cases and 56 new deaths
Last 7 days:
1,163 new cases and 54 new deaths

Thank you for making the case for opening things back up. Despite increased testing by 10 fold, cases, nor deaths, are increasing.

With that said, I am done on this argument with you. Once again by making statements about Fox News, you are easily showing your bias. No matter what anyone says nothing will change because of your political bias. Unfortunately my career of choice makes me an easy person to start an argument with. I look forward to hearing from you in the next couple of weeks when the Governor opens things back up and summer workouts begin for fall sports.

Have you ever served on a School Board? Do you even realize how much power a School Board has over their district? It is almost absolute.

Are you trying to just argue with yourself now? I (nor anyone else) ever questioned the power of a school board over its district. I will say again. The order of HOW football has to happen is as follows. Governor gives the OK. Once he does that, the South Carolina high School league has to give the OK (which they passed a ruling earlier this month saying workouts can begin as soon as the governor allows it). THEN and ONLY THEN does the School Board have the ability to allow the schools to open and play sports. So the School Board's word ONLY matters if the Governor and SCHSL allow football to be played.

Even if the Governor and SCHSL say play ball, the local school board can shoot that right down. They have the last word.

You have once again talked yourself in a circle and proven everyone's point. The School Board, HSL, and Governor ALL have the "last word". The SCHSL has ALREADY made their stance. If school boards vote to open schools in the fall (which some have already made that decision), they still have to abide by the Governor's ruling. HIS ruling is truly the one that overcomes all in terms of opening schools. He actually CAN force schools to open around the state, even overthrowing local school boards. How he can do it is by pulling all funding/payment to teachers/staff unless schools open. The Governor is the "CEO" of the schools in South Carolina, so to speak. Our Constitution calls for him to oversee that part of our state.
As one poster put it, it has been explained clearly to you. It is the point now where you do NOT want to understand it no matter how many times people explain it. So its best if we move on.

It's not complicated, the Governor has 2 authorities in a matter like this one; he can issue an order to close schools and he can lift that order. THAT'S IT. Once he lifts the order it is completely up to the school board what happens next. Now, people who know how to think understand why it has to be this way, but, being that you are lost I will explain to you why it must be this way. Let's say Oconee County is as clean as a whistle, no Coronavirus cases but Horry is saturated with cases. Or even better, let's use a state like Florida. It is 700 miles from Pensacola to Miami, the situation in the 2 places could be completely opposite. GOT IT NOW? Like i said, it is up to the local school board IF the school opens back up AND what is allowed and not allowed once it opens up. You Fox news scholars don't think anything through.

Most of your comment I agree with, and have the entire time. From the first post on this, I said the Governor has to make his decision, which then allows the SCHSL which then allows the local schools to do the same. So at this point you are merely arguing for the sake of arguing.
But, you are mistaken on our first line. The Governor has a SERIES of things he can do. He can allow school to open or close. He can choose to cancel all sports/activities or not. He has full authority over the schools to allow or cancel things and YES, he could choose to force local schools to open by withholding funds for teachers and facilities if they aren't open. It is very unlikely he would do that, but YES he does have that authority.

Dead wrong my friend. The local school board has the power over their schools. A hint, how much local tax money goes into the schools?

Hitler would have loved to had Fox News. They are a disgrace run by a Fascist from another country. We are making NO GAINS against this virus in S.C. Just look at the numbers, holding steady at just over 1,000 new cases per week. We HAVE NOT increased testing by 10 fold; that is what we HAVE TO DO. Turn off Fox news and find out what is really going on.

ZOT!!! ...and just like that, Godwin's law is invoked.

Godwin's law is an Internet adage asserting that "as an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1". That is, if an online discussion (regardless of topic or scope) goes on long enough, sooner or later someone will compare someone or something to Adolf Hitler or his deeds, the point at which effectively the discussion or thread often ends.

Prime corollary: When a Hitler comparison is made, the thread is finished and whoever made the comparison loses whatever debate is in progress.
