Indian Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 (edited) http://portal.tssaa.org/common/directory/coop.cfm The TSSAA may vote this week on adding cooperative numbers into accepting schools' classification count, in particular sports. Some of the schools have such small numbers it may not make a difference but in some it would. An example is Arts and Sciences with about 450, co-oping in football with Tyner at about 550. The vote this week would be to combine those numbers or give Tyner a 1.8 multiplier. My guess, any school that would be moved up will just refuse such students.

Indian Posted March 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 If co-op students are refused I can see them having a case for legal action. Not that I agree with or support such action, necessarily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I agree with or support such action, necessarily. I will admit I don't know as much about this as I would like as it doesn't happen as near as much in this part of the state. What case for legal action do they have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indian Posted March 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Taxpayer families claiming a right to participate regardless of a school's ability (or desire) to field a team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chainsaw2 Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 You may be talking about a cause of action against the school not fielding a team right? I'm no legal expert, but seems like they could possibly go against the non-participating school and not the accepting school if they drop the co-op arrangement since it's a voluntary agreement, but that is still probably a stretch. Watch how fast the accepting schools drop co-op agreements IF the new proposed rule change forces them to move up in classification. The benevolence will stop.

Indian Posted March 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Yeah I expect it too but they'd have a case with open or somewhat open zoning continuing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTruthPrevails Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 not sure how many kids from other schools people get but i cant imagine there is a lot. If they were football kids, then most likely they would go to a football school. Does this mean seq co has to move up to 3a in soccer? Dont they get kids from whitwell?

Indian Posted March 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 I don't think it would be enough for a push up for soccer which is an even divide between participants now, not total schools, either the 1.8 or combined, whichever is smaller would be used-if it is approved today.

FBfan26 Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) It's a motion by McKenzie High out of West Tennessee. The motion was denied. It's a 120 schools in TN that does coop. Everybody numbers are different fluctuate from year to year. For some reason the major talk was about us"PC and MLK. It was reported we had 31 eligible MLK kids that cam play but in fact it's only 14 kids and 7 or play who start and losing 10 to graduation. Some years we have only had 5-8 MLK. The plan is ridiculous Edited March 16, 2017 by FBfan26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indian Posted March 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) 5-8 can be a big deal if they're players and not just uniform fillers. Murfreesboro Magnet (about 800) to Eagleville in football stands out to me, depending on how many do participate.
