So 9 public schools requested to move up.  I wonder how the TSSAA will handle this in terms of dividing the classes.  In other words, will class 1A's cutoff increase some along with other classes?  Will the cutoff's stay the same but some classes increase in size?

No, the class cutoffs will not move. The classes will be uneven. Where is the list of 9 teams? Edited October 26, 2016 by TheAmbassador

Click on catcher55's link above (the three dots).  I couldn't find where the TSSAA said the cutoffs won't move.

Yep, I agree.  TSSAA - "We want equal classes", until schools want to move then "Well we will have unequal classes".

So let's talk about these.

 

1A is unaffected, 2A looks to be losing two teams, 3A is losing two teams and gaining one team, 4A looks to be losing five teams and gaining three teams.

 

Those numbers would be

 

1A 51

2A 48

3A 48

4A 47

5A 54

6A 49

 

Just imagine if they started at 1A and made the top several teams move up to the next class to "even" it out. That would cause wide spread panic. LMBO

Yes that would be terrible.  I was thinking the opposite...start moving some teams down a class since most moved up to 5A.  As I think about it more, it makes sense to keep the cutoffs as is.  Moving some teams down would mean you'd need to give everyone another opportunity to decide to move up.  The process would never end for some.

Exactly if a team was over the cutoff limit they won't let them move down. Also as of yesterday's deadline these classes are set. 5A will just be the classification that isn't as close as the other ones.

Good for rest of 2a that Memphis east staying up to 4a in football and 3a in other sports.

That would have been bad for everyone else for sure. They would have won football and basketball most years.

I bet some in 3A are disappointed about Alcoa not moving up to 4A. 3A in the east just got really clear for Alcoa every year.
