Looks like we'll just have to agree to disagree. I've been very close to Webb School and all of their athletic programs for almost the past 10 years. Of course, I have no documentation or published source that will prove my numbers.
It's my opinion... an opinion based on the "fact" that I personally know a LOT more about Webb school and its recent history of fielding athletic teams than you. I know the families involved and their long history of success in the Knoxville area who have kids who have attended Webb School over the years and participated in multiple sports. Do you really believe I would base my educated opinion knowing what I know by looking at someone who is on a team roster at Webb? C'mon...
My opinion is the vast number of aid students at Webb are not participating in the big three sports. Also... it is my opinion, Webb has far fewer aid athletes on their football roster than the majority of D2AA schools.
I would much prefer the TSSAA create 3 divisions in D2, but until they do, I'm pretty sure Webb School will continue to play in the division they are assigned and choose not to play up. It makes no sense for them to do so based on what I have said previously.
I don't like the fact that Webb's divisional schedule is so weak either. It makes for boring football games and gets old week after week with no disrespect to those schools. I'd like to see Webb challeneged more week-to-week but playing in D2AA would be suicide going up against the likes of Ensworth, BA, MBA, MUS etc.
