Baylor - King of DII

[In Hoc Signo Vinces]

Not really, MasterBlaster. In D-II, Baylor, McCallie, Ryan, MBA, Christian Brothers, and now even BA are always competitive against eachother. It is even more less competitive in D-I when Soddy and Bradley Central are always winning those titles in D-I

We D2 people would be happy to wrestle and play football in D1 but you won't let us. Did you forget? D1 kicked us out. We would love more games and matches for one true state championship. We are always looking for competition.

See my last post. WE have 4 big Dogs in the state and a few trying to knock them off the porch. All the Schools (Baylor, McCallie, Ryan, MBA, Christian Brothers, and now even BA) have prduced great Champions but only 3 have produced TEAM Champions.

In the public schools over the last 12 years it's been Cleveland, Overton, Clarksville, Bradley and SD.

Did not see it my bad

I guess that depends on how one would define "many". Based on free, public information on the internet, the DII schools on the high end have roughly 20% of their kids on some sort of aid, and the average family on aid is still shelling out thousands upon thousands of dollars to supplement that financial aid.

 

I agree that financial aid is the difference in some kids being at, or not being at, a DII school, but the vast majority (80%+) of kids are not on aid.

That is certainly true but if your kid was one of the 20% told either adios or that you could no longer compete in sports so the school could compete in D1, you would probably see it as many.

...at which point, parents must decide, are we spending thousands of dollars to send our child(ren) to private school just to play sports, or are there other benefits that we’ll get out of that decision (education, for example)?

 

I by no means agree with all the rules that the TSSAA has enacted (particularly as it relates to the split), but I do believe that rules need to be in place, and while the opportunity to play high school sports is a privilege and not a right, with all other things being equal, every student, regardless of financial wherewithal, is given an opportunity to participate in athletics.

Bay / McC tuition next year apx $17,000

Books, fees, uniforms apx $ 1,500

------------

$18,500

 

 

Velocity Sports private annual training apx $4,500

Daily wrestling practice with the UTC staff

($14.00 per day 200 days per year) $2,800

5 summer wrestling camps $2,000

----------

$9,300

 

Doesn't appear to be the best athletic investment financially......unless you're getting all those great fringe benefits that are continually mentioned on this board.

im calling it now bateman and his crew at Ryan are going to be the team to beat

[In Hoc Signo Vinces]

I think JPII will go all the way next year they whould really have a sacked line up next year and will easily beat RYan

Do you know what Baylor has coming next year? They are reloading. There JV could beat most programs in the state.
