The "Future" of the A 6 + 5

[TXMike]

Seems to me you are defeating your own purpose You wanted to be able to get into and be successful in the playoffs. Once teams join this "maverick" league they will no longer be eligible to compete in playoffs with normal schools. Example, if a Texas private school chose to be in your league, they could schedule games all year with other private and public schools in Texas but those games would all be exhibition games, just like the ones when a Oklahoma school plays a Texas school. They do not count in the standings for either team. And there has to be agreement before the game over which set of rules will be used. If schools not in your "league" refuse to play under your rules, your teams will get no games.

Not true:

Please re-read my post above more closely.

ANY team will be able to be a part of the new Federation and play teams that do or do not elect to be a part of it.

Teams playing each other from differing governing bodies has been happening for years. Rescheduling will not need to happen, the precedent has been set.

Best of Luck.

But they will not be able to participate in state-sponsored championship tournaments. And don't think member schools are going to schedule games (or keep scheduled games) with non-member schools. That's wasting a game night (and possible injuries) on a game that will not count towards their ratings.

In our state all games go towards playoff consideration if they are playing teams within their guidelines. You need 5 wins in a 9 week season to be eligible for post season in Illinois, and those games can be from out of state teams. The question is whether the IHSA would allow their members to play games in such an organization. This would be another consideration if such an organization was formed.

The bottom line, it is not going to happen with schools across the country.

Who is going to officiate these games? I am certified and more importantly insured by the NFHS which covers games governed by the NFHS. I would not be insured if a game was in the KBF (Kurt Bryan Federation.)

I wonder where our boy is now that is was handing out lectures on what we could or could not say?

Now I am certainly not here touting KB's super federation...however the insurance issue is a non issue. If you look closely, the insurance the federation provides covers you anytime you are working a sport that the federation recognizes. Not just NFHS games. The way I read it, if you work YMCA football games your NFHS insurance covers you if you get hurt working the Y games as well...

Why would anyone complain about this?

Sounds like a win-win situation to me. If a bunch of schools want to go play this other game that has a passing resemblance to football, who cares? Let them, and I wish them all the success in the world.

Personally, I am full up on actual football games, and don't feel like reffing another sport, so I would pass on picking up any of this new sports games, but no skin off my back if they want to form their own club to play.

Heck, at that point they would not even need to pretend to respect the actual game of football, and could write the rules however they like for their new game. More power to them.

You are right, but there are often standards. I know in my state there are regulations for who teams can play and when they can play. At one time there were travel restrictions as to how far they could play other teams in other states. It is possible (but extremely unlikely) that state associations might outlaw their members from playing in such a program. Then again, we all can dream.
