My suggestion would to be lobby with your local ISDs and for them to take it to the UIL Executive Council... That's the feel I get too. Most schools want the ban on Friday night.

Mavchamp Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 IMHO.......when COVID is over..... I want the blackout back in place. People need to have their fannies in the stands on Friday nights. Buying tickets, concessions, and booster booths, and general support of the community to the students is VITAL. Fans in the stands create a cashflow to multiple groups without using school dollars when they attend games. Football, band, cheerleaders, drill team, and others all get a slice of the Friday night lights pie. Let's pack the place every game. That's how it should be .......

MattStepp Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 If a geoblock could be put in place to precent folks within a 100-mile radius etc from watching the game online I think more schools would be ok with lifting the ban...but there's also work arounds for that also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longhorncrazy Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 I would support the ban being put back in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
