Playing Time

[mpmbv]

Why can high school football players (grades 9-12) play only 40 quarters (4 quarters X 10 games) in a season while basketball players can play 90 quarters in a season? Basketball players use to be able to play only 80 quarters (4 quarters X 20 games). When will football get bumped up to say 45?:cool:

nothing against basketball but i am going to say football is much more physically demanding on the body than basketball.
