We opened up the show today with our conversation with Mark Uyl, the Executive Director of the Michigan High School Athletic Association. Mark and Huge discussed the likelihood of a high school football season. They also talked about how different districts and their high school sports across Michigan are being affected by Covid-19 and how Mark and the MHSAA have different contingency plans in place for any situation. Mark is expecting to announce those plans soon. We were then joined by Jim Comparoni with a quick Spartan update and to also talk about what the vibe has been like for him being a little league coach and how it’s going with his team and how they’re following the right guidelines. Bill also asked the Huge Question of the Day: How many of the young Tigers should join the 30-man roster to play in the shortened 60 game season?
