I would think Fairfax gets the bye, their opponent cannot play. They also are the one non-fcps team.

Lol what? Fairfax HS is part of FCPS

Fairfax High School is not FCPS. They are City of Fairfax Public Schools.

Then why does their website have FCPS in it? https://fairfaxhs.fcps.edu/

It’s Fairfax City’s school but they pay FCPS to operate it so it’s an FCPS school in practical terms. But they have their own school board.

I may not know every nuance to this arrangement, but Fairfax City has its own school board, yet contracts with FCPS for FCPS to run its schools. It's still considered an FCPS school and is under FCPS policies as far as I know. I work at a different school, but I could transfer to Fairfax HS and still be working for FCPS

No way Edison plays. Do you people know how football works? You can’t just tell a team to show up after their equipment has been handed in, without practicing, without studying film and specifically discussing their opponent. Fairfax should get the bye

(I’ll note that my children do not go to Hayfield and don’t play football, so not sure why I’ve gotten at least three rather long emails.)

CliffsNotes version: coach with a history of breaking/bending rules and laws but wins a lot against subpar competition gets hired to coach at Hayfield (and somehow also is hired to be their chief of security). He violates countless public school regs, and possibly state and federal laws, to usher 31 transfers in the door. He also brings on coaches who, among other things, seem to enjoy giving drugs to/doing drugs with minors. Meanwhile Hayfield and FCPS administrators don't just turn a blind eye to all of this, they basically support it by trying to sweep it all under the rug. And, at the same time Hayfield supporters lob all kind of baseless accusations (including racism, unfounded claims of other programs cheating etc.) at those simply wanting the cheaters to get their just desserts. I am sure I missed a few things, but that's the shorthand version.

Take your discussion of the scheduling to the playoff thread. https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/30/1241292.page

Important to note that there is very likely a financial aspect to this as well.

Someone from Hayfield administration and/or Gatehouse is likely complicit in illegally funneling athletic department and/or school general funds for this. (Ie taxpayer dollars were misspent.)

Fantastic (and sadly accurate) synopsis. Also sounds like it could plot summary of new show on the CW: "Hayfraud"

Hey thank you so much for this! I started that playoff thread last week as I saw how large this one had gotten. I think it's okay for us to actually talk about the games/teams and not have them get lost in this massive thread.

And seriously, thank you for encouraging others to go there to talk about the actual playoffs.

Come on over to the Football Playoff thread. I'm curious what's going to happen tomorrow as well. But I agree doesn't make sense for Edison to play. Also everything else you said if Lake Braddock were given the bye and Fairfax had to play WSHS instead.

Thank you! It is always nice to have another thread where Overton can be dragged.

31 transfers? or 31 ineligible players?

Both.

You’re welcome. I was trying to be helpful, not snarky, but I see my post could be read as curt.
