PIAA to discuss starting county by county
By CHRIS HARLAN Trib Total Media
Could the PIAA take a county-by-county approach to restarting sports or should the entire state resume summer workouts at the same time?
“We want to have that discussion,” said PIAA executive director Bob Lombardi, who expects that question and others related to the coronavirus shutdown will be addressed Wednesday when the PIAA board meets online.
“We don’t want to have one person driving the decision,” he said. “We want to have a discussion of 32 people who have good minds and a lot of experience in athletics. Let’s talk about competitive balance. Let’s talk about fairness. Let’s talk about opening up, because it could be weeks (between when the first and last counties are ready). Why have people sit?
“Those questions are all part of the discussion for Wednesday.”
