Perspective: Dumb & Really Dumb

November 6, 2014

In this week's edition of MHSAA Perspective, John Johnson talks about a couple of dumb ideas in the football world – a national high school playoff, and multiple-game weekend tournaments.  

Now in its 10th season, the radio commentary MHSAA Perspective – presented by the Michigan Army National Guard – airs on over 80 radio stations and audio outlets across the state, generally during the local broadcasts of high school games. The program runs for 30 weeks through the end of the winter sports season.
