This is probably the best suggestion I've seen. This does mean that northern teams will be fighting against snow, but we already see that quite a bit. Once football season completely ends (most state championships are around mid to late November if I remember correctly) the winter sports are just getting started. This may even make things easier on student athletes, because their coaches might be more lenient if build season is at the beginning of the winter season and not the end.
