Possibility Of Late Assignments Related To COVID ...

While I probably gave too much (local scholastic) background information (changing from entire season published to a slow trickle), I was also probably not too far off with my uneducated guess: the possibility of late assignments (not changes) related to COVID.

A change from an open date to a late assignment can be considered a change, but that's semantic nit picking when looking at it from either viewpoint, and I've already admitted to my poor choice of words.

It's just me, but I'm thinking he was looking for answers from folks who have some first-hand experience or insider information. I don't think the was looking for "uneducated guesses" that he could come up with himself. Again, that's just me.

Agree. But since there appears to be no additional fees for making or reading posts on the Forum, I just thought I would offer my two cents, how we went from a full season of assignments published at once; to trickles two weeks at a time; to day to day, hour to hour, during COVID last year.

Even with my ignorance of college assigning, I was still able to (I believe) come up with a somewhat logical and close to the mark explanation.

What does your high school assignment process have anything to do with this situation asked about in the OP? Nothing.

Even the stuff you mentioned has nothing to do with how games are given in my area and I work in 2 different states. Most of my high school games have been assigned since the summer. It literally has nothing to do with what happens in college other than people with opportunities will likely give a date or two back. But that happens without a college assignment. So more information that is irrelevant to the discussion we are trying to have with stuff about where you live that does not matter to most across the country.

Peace
