@brutusbeefcake_ What is the cost?

@PascoCoSports What is going on, vague post!

[Florida Coaches Coalition @PayFLCoaches]

The @FHSAA has repeatedly said that the wage issue that coaches in Florida face is a "school district issue."

When officials in Florida threatened to strike in 2020, the FHSAA stepped in and gave them a raise. When 31 other states approved high school NIL, the FHSAA came out with a statement that they were drafting proposed NIL Language.

What the FHSAA has never done is publicly make a statement that stood in solidarity with ALL coaches in Florida seeking higher pay. The FHSAA is fully aware that ALL public high school coaches are paid well below minimum wage.

It would make all the difference if the governing body of high school sports in Florida finally made a stance in support of ALL Florida coaches.

Coaches in Florida produce more Division I talent than any other state in this country, yet they are paid the least. Most coaches do it for the passion, not the paycheck... BUT... the $1.00 an hour coaches average in Florida won't cut it anymore.

Please share, like, and retweet.
