The new rules that Section VI has announced affect Black students more so than any other race due to the fact that then the majority of students who play high school football in Buffalo are Black. Although Black students are most affected, other races are subject to the same restrictions.

According to reports, Section VI has decided that Buffalo Public will only compete against schools within the City of Buffalo. This situation is very involved. According to reports, there's an entity called the ECIC (Erie County Scholastic Conference) which is a very structured organization.

According to news reports, the Buffalo City Schools formally applied for inclusion in the ECIC but were denied.
