I think this is a great move.
What do you think?

The North-South game no longer will conflict with the Big 33 game, an all-star game pitting Ohio vs. Pennsylvania players in Hershey, Pa. Now, players from Ohio can play in both games if they want.

I think it is a good idea with only one real major flaw. I guess my concern is how do the teams practice. I realize some students can miss a week of school with no major impact on their studies. However, I also can see where there are at least a handful of potential participants that cannot miss that school...no way, no how! Plus to be frank, regardless of whether a player is a good student or a poor student, we need to remember that these young men are still high school students. As are a result, letting a high school student miss a week's worth of school to participate in a football game shows some questionable priorities in my opinion.

If I'm not mistaken they will practice on the weekends as well as the latter part of the actual game week.

I am sure track and baseball coaches will love to lose a great athlete for 3 weekends.

Very interesting concept, will it be in conjunction with the spring game?
