The TSSAA voted 5-4 to not split so now the privates can just keep on recruiting and keep having an unfair advantage. The public schools need to start their our athletic association!

If you pay any attention to the TSSAA, you would have seen where Childress announced that the last 8 recruiting violations were committed by public schools.  I know that's hard for pubs to wrap their head around that when it doesn't conform to a good story.  You're backwoods opinion (not fact) are way off base.

For me, comments attributed to Childress have been very disappointing throughout the entire process since he frames them in a way that does not take proper responsibility and deflects from the real issue.  Not hard to see through at all.  Statements like "need facts, can't act on unsubstantiated statements from anonymous sources" like that is the only type of information the TSSAA has received and then stating "last 8 proven recruiting violations were by public schools" only displays how unwilling and out of touch the organization and its leader are in dealing with it.

Anyone who thought the split would happen hasn't been paying attention to how the T$$AA operates. They will not allow it to happen strictly due to self preservation from a monetary standpoint. Level playing field and listening to the opinions of the vast majority of constituents is of zero concern to Mr Childress and his cronies. This has been much ado about nothing bc it was never going to happen, but now the organization can further the status quo by saying that they looked into the split thoroughly and voted on it. What a joke! Give the 5A & 6A schools a dose of this mess for a few years and see what happens. The small publics are playing for 2nd in most of the big sports now. I see quotes from a number of representatives of private schools, but none from the few that are causing the uproar. Any word from CPA? They must be too busy scouring the national aau circuit to find their next out of state stud to bring in for hoops to comment.

Word from CPA AD was they were where they could best compete! This was the last chance for there to ever be a split, now that the privates have 3 to start every meeting.

. I think if you would open up that little mind and ask around you would find that most privates want a split also. The only problem was they would not let them vote. Now maybe the privates on board can accomplish what a full public could not.

CPA sent out a letter the day of the vote saying they had no say in the decision, but "we are accountable for our approach moving forward."  It's too bad they haven't held themselves accountable already, at least in regards to the BB team.  Maybe the vote wouldn't have taken place....

 

Drew's twitter comment that day was:   In the end, what your own troops do is more important than who they are marching against. -Don Meyer

 

Kind of sounds to me like he plans to keep doing what he's been doing, regardless of where they play.

    • hey goat! how’s monterey looking this year?! 
    • several people actually. they said “snoball, do you know who railbird81 is on coacht?” I said, “never heard of her.” they said, “you ought to check it out they’re getting fired up on there like the old days.” well, you can imagine my disappointment when I came here expecting sharp, witty banter and all i found was more akin to toddlers slap fighting. and what looks like 1 guy/gal talking to themselves with multiple accounts.
    • Shopping? His family is loaded and he's 6'6 I'm pretty sure he could start anywhere in upper East TN,So no need to shop. Word is Witten got caught trying to work him out on campus and some 7 on 7 while playing athletics for Sullivan East. Word got around pretty quick and Someone turned them into TSSAA.
    • Quick update on Jacob -  Jacob celebrated his 16th birthday at Vanderbilt on Tuesday and has been in decent spirits.  His sense of humor has begun to show as he was visited by many friends.  He is swallowing a lot better now and has eaten some of his favorites (Chik-Fil-A and Five Guys).   He is getting prepared to head to Atlanta to the Shepherd Center first thing tomorrow morning.  His family has been waiting on insurance approval. In case you dont know the Shepherd Center it a world class facility and supposedly one of the best in the country for spinal injury rehab.  Praying for perfect results there. Considering the circumstances, Jacob is in decent spirits.  He has some reflexive movement in his legs which I think is probably a very positive sign.  Don't read too much into that just yet as there is no telling what the real prognosis is... just hopeful that is good thing.  I am really just happy that it seems like he has a punchers chance of getting something back.  He is a strong young man and very determined so I think he will fight as hard as he can in physical therapy while down in Atlanta. More than one of you has asked me about an address to send donations.  I know GoFundMe isn't for everyone.  If you want to go that route, you can make a check to "Blackman Wrestling Club" and we will pass anything received directly to the Kinderdines.   Jacob Kinderdine c/o Blackman Wrestling 4836 Trevino Court Murfreesboro, TN  37128 Also, want to thank everyone who has donated so far.  Jacobs dad will take a month off work and stay in Atlanta with him.  They need to learn how to take care of him and do home therapy work..... and surely Jacob will be glad his dad can be there.  All that could not happen without you all.  Depending on what happens, they will probably end up doing some home remodeling in order to accommodate Jacob at their home.  Thanks again. Here's a pic I lifted from Facebook of Jacob on Oxy talking to his Uncle.  LOL
