Governor Hogan signed an executive order to start schools after the Labor Day holiday starting in the 2017/2018 school year. This could be big for area football. We already start one week later than WV. This could mean we start two weeks later. That would be a huge disadvantage to MD schools who have WV ones in the first couple weeks of the season. They would have already played 2 games and MD schools would have played none. It also means tighter schedules. WV would only have 9 weeks to schedule games with MD schools not 10 anymore. I personally think starting after Labor Day is the right thing to do. But it would be a mess for football at least.
