I think the IHSA with moving some sports will have to clarify their position.

Pg 50 q 113 and 114.

Q. May a student who has transferred to an IHSA member school from out of state participate in the same sport he/she was participating in prior to the transfer?

A. In a situation like the one above, a ruling from the IHSA office is required. If it is determined that the student, the family and the school are in a circumstance completely beyond their control, the student may be ruled eligible. (By-law 3.042)114)

Q. May a student who played girls soccer for her high school in the fall in Missouri play girls soccer in the spring in Illinois if her family moves from Missouri to Illinois?

A. Yes. The IHSA Board of Directors has determined that the season in which a sport is played in another state is a circumstance beyond the control of the student, the family and the school. (By-law 3.042)

I guess my question is, with these 20 contact days allowed, does early september count as beginning of football season?

I wouldn't think so. If this was a normal year, Football season wouldn't have officially begun until August 10th, while most programs would have used their 20 contact days for weeks of camp throughout the summer.
