HammerDown74 Posted Wednesday at 12:15 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 12:15 PM If I’m Brandon, may as well practice early again next year if all you get is a slap on the wrist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olcoach77 Posted Thursday at 02:29 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 02:29 PM The only way to stop the illegal practicing is to enforce a playoff ban then it would stop. They would definitely know and understand the rules. Or fine the head coach personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until there's teeth put into the bite it will continue just like the sports practicing out of season now Edited Thursday at 05:40 PM by coastball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's funny since last year it wasn't announced until 8-18-25 and the new announcement was on the 17th of this year. No one really expects anything different at this point when dealing with the good old boy system of MHSAA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildcats1980 Posted yesterday at 01:29 AM Share Posted yesterday at 01:29 AM Here is the real problem: too many schools no longer fear the MHSAA because they do not believe the MHSAA has the backbone to impose a punishment that actually hurts. If the reports are accurate that Brandon has violated the football practice rule for a second straight year, then another weak probation does nothing except reinforce that belief. I have talked with athletic directors who openly question whether the MHSAA is willing to come down hard on the powerful programs in Central Mississippi. I have heard administrators say they do not believe MHSAA leadership wants to “go down that road.” Think about what that says about enforcement. If schools believe they can break a rule, take a probation, and keep rolling with no meaningful consequence, then why would anybody fear violating the rule again? Probation without teeth is just paperwork. At some point, repeat violations should bring consequences that actually matter—loss of contests, postseason restrictions, meaningful fines, suspensions, or whatever penalties the MHSAA rulebook legally allows and applies consistently. This is bigger than Brandon. The MHSAA either has authority over all of its member schools, or it does not. A 1A school in rural Mississippi should not have to wonder whether it would receive a harsher punishment than one of the biggest programs in Central Mississippi. Same rulebook. Same enforcement. Same consequences. Until schools believe there is a real price for repeatedly breaking the rules, the MHSAA should not be surprised when some programs stop being afraid of getting caught. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professional leagues barely get those type of fines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
