Tepper: The UIL changed the 2020 Texas high school football season. Here's what it means.
Dave Campbell's Texas Football managing editor Greg Tepper breaks down the UIL's announcement of a delayed 2020 Texas high school football season for the state's largest classifications, and the questions that still linger.
We knew Texas high school football season would be different in 2020. Now, we now just how different.
The UIL announced sweeping adjustments to the upcoming Texas high school football season on Tuesday, headlined by delaying the start of the season for Class 6A and Class 5A by more than five weeks and pushing the first games back by four weeks. Week 1 of games, originally scheduled for August 27-29, will now take place September 24-26; the start of practice will move from August 3 to September 7. But that is only for the two largest classifications — Class 4A and below will start as scheduled. The changes come as Texas continues to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic, which has increased in ferocity in recent weeks.
