The 2020 Florida high school football season is scheduled to start July 27. On Monday, the Florida High School Athletic Association Board of Directors will hold a special meeting to decide if the upcoming season will start on-time.

Over the last month, a FHSAA’s COVID-19 Task Force has held three meetings where different proposals have been put forth. To say that one proposal is better than the other is in the eye of the beholder.
