You, sir, are speaking with your heart and passions and not with your brain. The TSSAA is not cheating your kids...Might I remind you that the PUBLIC schools have the control of the Legislative Council at TSSAA? Do I need to remind you that they voted as a board should- based on the good for the whole group? Your "kids" are being cheated out of a good life lesson that things aren't always easy when their coach gets on a message board and whines about being cheated. Do you feel cheated when congress doesn't vote the way the majority of Americans feel?
Lazurus, can you avoid the second-grade tactic of spelling things in an insulting fashion and join our grown-up conversation.
Bill73, first, recruiting wasn’t allowed in D-II when goodpasture was in and it isn’t now…but…whether they recruited or not, the moment they went to Division I they had to take all the financial aid away from athletes since that is not allowed. You obviously don’t understand what is going on here.
And also Bill, for your records, Lipscomb was never in Division II, so if they recruited, then they did it in D-I. If you can prove it then turn them in…if not, keep quiet!
Everyone tries to make the private schools of Tennessee look like the Nazis invading Poland…when it all boils down to the truth, this should all be about lessons learned on the field…and the lesson learned is ultimately that everyschool is not going to be a winner…for one reason or another, there will be schools that aren’t as good as others, but turning this into a finger pointing contest is wrong. These whining people need to look in the mirror and figure out what the problem really is…
Let’s all just play together and stop all this “It’s my ball so that’s why I am going home” crap.
I can prove it not at lipscomb but at another Chattanooga area school. But what would they get if they were turned in a slap on the wrist. 1 or 2 year probation. More trouble to turn them in then it is worth. YOU KNOW IT IS DONE IN THE PRIVATE SCHOOLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not by the administration but by people connected to the school. It gets done by others, parents of other kids, church groups, etc. Quit trying to be "holier than thou" your halo is on to tight!!!!!!!!!!!
