Great. Two more games to resechedule when the ice, sleet, and snow storms come. :)

More money for schools, more enjoyment for fans, and I'm sure the players would rather play games than practice. I'm in.

Its a good move. You wouldn't even need to add a week to the schedule really. There are plenty of weeks with only 1 game.

We presentlly have 12 weeks for 20 games, so even 2 a week would be 24 games , so 22 would still leave 2 weeks with 1 game and I have seen teams with 3 games in 1 week.

This change will put another asterisk behind broken career and season records.

very true.

I am ok with it, but it seems like teams always struggle to get 20 games in because of Ohio's crappy weather. I hope it works out and you know the kids(the most important part) will welcome this over practice anytime...lol

Basically it's 2 more nonleague games so make the AD'S work and find open Tuesdays or Saturdays or play in those holiday classics can be expanded to 2 games per team instead of just 1.

You could see some leagues expand and add a school.

Doubtful...cause other sports arent expanding the seasons. You wont add a school especially for football reasons unless you needed one in football. Really football is the only sport where # of league members really matters.

Good point. I did say some. But I agree football is the driving force behind league structure.

As a referee, I personally don't like this. I'd rather see the season shortened. November - March is LONG.

More basketball is good but the school I follow could do with less football.

Sounds good. More chance for creek to prove its self.
