🏈 Florida just passed the “Teddy Bridgewater Act.”
After being suspended for using his own money to cover food and transportation for players at his alma mater, Teddy Bridgewater inspired change.
The Florida Senate unanimously approved a bill allowing K-12 coaches to use up to $15,000 of personal funds to support student-athletes — without being penalized.
Bridgewater, who coached at Miami Northwestern High School, was originally suspended under old FHSAA rules. Now, that generosity is protected.
Sometimes doing the right thing changes the rules. 💙
