My2cents, Then why when I went for a friend to recive information for his 4 boys that he is transfering into town from Charlotte, NC and wanted to put his kids in a Church of Christ/ Christian school. ALl 4 are excellent athletes. Sent him the forms and the Person I spoke to offered me Finacial aid forms for my friend with the packet. I know to many people that send kids to private schools and I speak to the often. When in a group it came up about the Public/ private debate and he said his kids that are on the football team recieve aid and He knew of 4 other kids that get the same. That came up at a party about 4 weeks ago. So I know for a fact that this guy would not Lie about something like that. He did not understand why.

Baldcoach, I have been saying that for years.The Coaches in most Public schools are not as dedicated. Most Public school parents do not support their kids. Most do not know how they are doing in school or even if they goto school. Kids today are not as interested in athletics as they used to be. But, most private schools get the kids interested in going to games and coming out for athletics. I wonder why that is.

If Ryan Wins Friday night against BGA. That will get them into the playoffs.

In statement 1 It would be less travel for them Because as it is right now. They have to travel to playMartin (43 Miles). Dyer (23 Miles), Dresden (41 miles) Just to name a few. When they would be playing Trinity Christian in Jackson,Fayette Academy in Somerville and Jackson Christian which is across town from them. Now they will have to go to Memphis for a few game or Nashville for a few. But it is still less on them then what they are doing presently. In Statement 2, You are wrong again. They are playing. I know for a fact that 4 players at Lipscomb are on finacial aid and playing sports with 2 others. Last I heard in Football you could only have 2 on FA and be able to play.

Let me start by saying I am not a Ronnie Carter fan. I respect the man because he is in a no win situation. 1- They do not investigate reports unless it comes from a school. Individuals unless they add Name address and a way of contacting them would be futal. Because they get 200 letters, emails a day from fans saying someone is recruiting or other issues. 2- He reports all findings to a board of governors. Which they have close to 10 school Principles and Athletic Directors on it. They make the decision on what the punishment is after Ronnie Carter and his group make their recommendations. 3- I blame Mr Carter and his staff for 2 things. A) the public/Private split. Spending hard earned money on trying to trap Brentwood Academy and keeping it in the courts so that the money spent should have gone into the kids and the schools that really need the help. He should either force all Private Schools into the Private School league or disband it all together.

Fact is, when I pulled up all the Private schools in DI. There would be less travel for all schools involoved. Size Large and small. That could be true. But as for right now. we have 2 divisions and you can thank the public schools for that. But, It was started because the public schools thought there was an unfair advantage. I do not see an advantage. I see it as the coaches work hard with the kids and take more time to work with the kids. Ahhh, you are worng. Lipscomb, Goodpasture, Notre Dame and many more offer financial aid. They do not offer scholorships. That ios the difference.Oops ... there are some of those D1 schools ... you may want to look up two big ones ... Maryville and Alcoa! He he!

I get so tored of hearing how a multiplier works or doesn't work. 1- There are 2 division. 1 for public schools who can't fill a stadium if they tried except for a few. and 1 for Private schools, who play in DI because they do not want to face tough competition (Goodpasture,Knox Catholic, CPA, David Lipscomb, Notre Dame) just to name a few. If every Private school in TN played in DII it would be one heck of a ride. Financially it would not require much travel. Then you add some great Natural rivals. 2- They keep saying it is because of money. Well If everyone played DII that is a private school it would not be a problem. because travel expoenses would be down 3- People then would not hear the Public schools Cry about how unfair it is to play a Private school. 4- No matter how it is worded. Financial aid or compensation by way of a schalorship is the same. Aid is aid.

What Natural Rivalries were destroyed. NONE, Hillwood and the AD for Metro schools(Scott Burnett) ended most of the rivalries. He does not want any Metro School to play Private schools. As for Other places. Just because you have a Private School league does not mean you do not play a Public School. Private Schools have elected not to play some Public Schools for they do not bring fans to the games. Now in no means am I saying that it happens at all games or schools. Just as a whole, in Nashville Most Metro Schools do not bring enough fans to watch games so why play them.

To Say Ryan showed their true colors? What kind of a comment is that. This is the second time this year I think Ryan did not play up to their potential. MBA did not out class them. They beat them up front with the Offensive and defensive lines. Ryan still can and will be in post season play for the 1st time in a long time. Last time I looked. The Post-season meant that records are for nothing. It is a New season. Does not matter if you are 5-5 or 10-0. You lose you are done. MBA still has some work to do before they are able to play in the POST season. Maybe they will make it or not. But one thing for sure. They will cause problems for others they are still to face. As for JPII. Why play down in DII AA. If you think you can compete. Jump up in division and play with the big boys.

Let the party begin. I am sure the Irish and the Red will be there in mass, With Homecoming being for the RED. I hope the Ladies going to homecoming are disappointed

In this rivalry. You can throw out any records that anyone has. This is an old fashion dog fight. I could say I hope the Irish win but. The Irish have to play better than they did against Franklin if they want to win. MBA will come out ready to play.

I disagree. The TSSAA should force all Private schools to play in the Private school league. Then you drop the multiplier and get back to basics. TSSAA under Ronnie Carter has had more issues(law Suits) That at anytime before. Because he is sensative to the public schools. Public Schools have the most talent just the coaches either can't get them to come out or they do not want to work hard enough to get them out.

No one has ever stated Ryan was ready to beat BA. Just they are excited the Ryan is finally back in the mix of Football's better half. Go Irish

The TSSAA and the powers to be have made this a tough situation. If they are going to have a Division II then all schools that they are singleing out should play in it. Any schoool that needs a multiplier should be playing in DII.
