    Teddy Bridgewater Act - Will It Help and Where Can It Hurt Student Athletes

    This episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/nuDFk8G4E5w  The Florida Senate recently passed the Teddy Bridgewater Act - allowing coaches to use up to $15,000 of personal funds to help their students. Dj and Reg discuss how they feel about this development.  Even if we ignore the fact that these lawmakers never agree on anything and we trust this decision will enable a brighter path for affected students, what are the guardrails, how do we protect the students, and how do we also assist programs that aren't necessarily athletic? Dj and Reg discuss these, and other implications of this newly passed Act. How do you feel about it? What would you like to see happen? #YouthSports #HighSchoolAthletics #FairPlay #EducationReform #SportsFunding #EquityInSports #FloridaLegislation #TeddyBridgewaterAct #YouthDevelopment #SportsIntegrity #EducationPolicy #AthleticPrograms #FundingDisparities #YouthEmpowerment #SportsAndEducation #HighSchoolSports #LegislativeImpact #SportsEquity #YouthOpportunities #SportsEthics
