FHSAA may have less say over membership
Bradenton, Florida -- A bill on the Governor's desk would weaken the Florida High School Athletic Association's control. Senate Bill 1704 (HB 1403) is a bill the FHSAA says none of its 695 high school members support.
Manatee High School's head football Coach Joe Kennan is one of many athletic directors who says government should stay on the sidelines.
With 5 championships in 27 years of coaching under him, Kennan says SB 1704 and House Bill 1403 would do more harm than good to high school athletics.
