Ararar Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 Going to cost a lot more than 10-40 thousand to get state associations like the CIF and UIL to permit their teams to play 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ararar Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 California has moved their last playoff game up a week in 2018 to December 14 so I guess they could send a team if they wanted but they are going to ask for more money 💰 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means CA teams are playing 16-17 games and this would be the week after the CIF Sate Bowl games...hard sell... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECHS05 Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 Better hope Lowndes, Archer, or Colquitt win GA if ya want GAs largest class champ to go. Just dont send 6A, none of those teams are a top team in GA. Ask the 5A champ or Cartersville. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd be coming off of a 3 peat, 45 game win streak, and a chance to see Trevor Lawrence one last time before he heads off to Clemson.
