Is there any chance that the decision making folks over on Lebanon Road in Hermitage will take a close look at the Merit System?

 

IMO, we will not see the TSSAA do anything until after the BA case is settled. I can't beleive that the TSSAA is going to continue the fight after they lost in the US Supreme Court, but I guess they had no choice but to spend some more the the tax payers money. The schools need to ban together and pass a rule that the Board of Control has to pay for any financial losses due to legal bills out of their personal checking & savings accounts. The Board of Control should spend the money as if it were their own dollars and sometimes we all must cut bait and get on with our life.

The merit system was mentioned, I looked at the Moore ratings from last season and put these together and how they might start in a 5 and 4 class system. This is before any adjustments on how low a large school can drop, etc.

They could keep track of school populations to help classify new schools or new programs, put them where they'd be if they were still based on populations. This sounds okay, but like I've said before, the very first year a Brentwood Academy won the top class, you'd go back to the same old conversations. This is for one season of results, maybe to be more accurate at the start they could go with at least four or five seasons of results. The numbers are available to do so. I'd want to see it changed every two seasons, instead of four. Maybe the top 20 percent and bottom 20 percent could swap each two seasons.

 

If there were still regions, it might go like this around Chattanooga:

 

5A:

McCallie

Red Bank

Ooltewah

Baylor

McMinn County

Rhea County

 

4A

Cleveland

Brainerd

Boyd-Buchanan

Notre Dame

Howard

Tyner

Meigs County

Polk County

Hixson

 

 

3A

Soddy-Daisy

Bradley Central

South Pittsburg

Temple

Chattanooga Central

East Ridge

 

2A

Walker Valley

Bledsoe County

Stone

Silverdale Academy

Lookout Valley

Tellico Plains

McMinn Central

Marion County

 

1A

Cumberland County

Grundy

Sequatchie

Whitwell

Chattanooga Grace

Copper Basin

Here is what I came up with for regions in 5A. I had to send some of the Knoxville schools east to help even things out. A couple of the regions just had six teams, that caused problems with 12 in Memphis, maybe they could be in two conferences with six each, begin at week 0, complete five conference games in week 9 or sooner, and have #1 vs #1 and #2 vs #2 in week 10 to determine four playoff spots. There was not much that could be done with Giles County, if they played 5A they'd have a major gas bill. I kept Pearl-Cohn with rivals Hunter's Lane and Maplewood, they and Ryan could have flipped around. Barring upsets, which would always happen, the semfinals might be Maryville-Brentwood Academy, Goodpasture-Hillsboro. It's all speculation, especially since there's not even a merit system but it's fun to see how it would possibly be.

 

Region 1: 6-Fulton, 13-Dobyns-Bennett, 19-Morristown West, 21-Sevier County, 24-Knoxville West, 25-Austin East, 44-Knoxville Central , 62-Sullivan South

 

Region 2: 2-Maryville, 3-Alcoa, 15-Knoxville Catholic, 18-Farragut, 26-Webb, 38-William Blount, 39-Oak Ridge, 43-Bearden

 

Region 3: 4-McCallie, 9-Red Bank, 10-Ooltewah, 11-Baylor, 34-McMinn County, 48-Rhea County

 

Region 4: 1-Brentwood Academy, 5-Riverdale, 7-Smyrna, 20-Ravenwood, 28-Franklin, 50-Brentwood High School, , 58-Independence, 64-Giles County, 65-FCS

 

Region 5: 12-Goodpasture 23-Gallatin 32-Maplewood 42-PJPII 45-Pearl-Cohn 53-Hunter's Lane 60-Springfield

59-Hendersonville

 

Region 6: 8-Hillsboro 14-Lipscomb 16-CPA 29-Dickson County 47-Ryan 52-Lavergne 55-Antioch 57-MBA

 

Region 7: 33-Crockett County 40-JCS 49-Henry County 51-Jackson SS 56-Milan 63-Camden

 

Region 8: 17-CBHS, 22-White Station, 27-MUS, 30-Whitehaven, 31-ECS 35-Wooddale, 36-Germantown, 37-Melrose, 41-Ridgeway, 46-Bolton, 54-Fairley 61-Colllierville

"That's very interesting. I wonder how well it works ..."

 

i dont know about those high school examples,

but i know of merit systems in use by other sports organizations,

and they seem to work quite well.

Yes, I follow international soccer fairly closely and their merit systems have been in place and worked for quite some time - roughly a century.
