Our football crew schedules V games two years at a time as districts are put together every two years. After one year, one school merged its football program with another and since it changed their schedule, it also affected ours. We happen to find out the week of the game that the change had been made. At least we didn't show up to an empty field on Friday night. Of course there had been AD changes and stuff like that, all the elements necessary to create a snafu. We did ask for and receive payment in full. The state association didn't want to back us up and said that the school only had to offer us another contract at a future date to make up for this mess. Our contention was we had a contract and if we broke it like the school did, we would face suspension by the association. Yes, we probably won't be invited back to that school again. That's okay.
