MNPS has been a disaster long before the current mayor. If you want to point the blame point, it at the officials that actually have school in the title
Rutherford County is pretty much open zoned, which has been to the benefit of a bunch of teams in the area. Blackman's success was not immediate and just because you don't succeed at the college level doesn't mean much once back in HS
His record in college doesn't mean much. When he took over at Blackman, they weren't very good. Tullahoma is a good place to raise a family. Tullahoma will get better and they will play disciplined
So totally fine for HC's to make a 7 figure salary (soon to be 8) while the players (whom are the reason why they can make such a figure) receive practically nothing?
Football is the only sport where until now you couldn't make any kind of money the moment you graduate HS. A few kids get a 7 figure NIL deal and some of you turn into drama queens
Well MTSU isn't P5. Their AD has made it pretty clear that as long as they play in a bowl game, that's good enough for him. I don't like it, but not gonna get my blood up about it
Which is pretty much the rest of the state (minus that big gift Pilot gave Knox area schools). Field Turf doesn't matter much if the rest of the stadium is falling apart
I can think of better ways to market your program than getting your head caved in. I think Sumner should have taken some pointers from surrounding counties on how to open a new school
I mean if your absolutely determined to play a full varsity schedule in the middle of a 2 year cycle, its gonna happen. Everybody thinks they can mimic Ravenwood or Green Hill and win right away
