tssaa is a joke,,,,,,these new guidelines or RULES are terrible and make no sense. They should have let the coaches vote, not 8 principals!

NOW COACHES HAVE TO TRACK each player over the AAU season and make sure they don't play on an illegal team, with 3 or more players. This makes a bunch of sense. It's created more work for the coaches.

TSSAA IS GOVERNING what kids do in the off season,,,can you say "LAW TIME" Get ready TSSAA

haven't taken it all in yet but will chime in later ...but having a kid that played three sports in high school ...football, basketball and tennis ....from what i can see it doesn't look all that bad ....i don't think that tssaa is regulating the kids as much as it is THE COACHES , some of them were getting out of hand....

100 "OFF SEASON" games is too many......demanding that kids play the sport that YOU coach year around is idiotic....i am anti- specialization to the bone...i was taken to task on here a few months ago by someone who said a certain kid should not play basketball because he should concentrate on base ball ...because that's where his so called scholarship opportunities were.....well that same kid (from gatlinburg pittman) signed a scholarship to play FOOTBALL on signing day...after basketball was 80% over...let's see..........................he quit BASKETBALL to concentrate on BASEBALL then he signed a scholarship for FOOTBALL..............................i only wonder if he is even playing baseball now ........perhaps he is playing soccer ....best i remember he was a dang good soccer player when he was younger............

That post made zero sense, the HS coaches don't coach AAU in the spring/summer season. How can TSSAA regulate what team a kid wants to play for in the spring/summer. That is dictatorship.

These rule changes hurt more of the rural counties than anyone. I have heard proposals of breaking away from the TSSAA and it souded worth listening to.

Now guys don't be so upset. Everyone knows that football is the sport that makes the most money and that is what always influences tssaa. They would cut out the rest of the sports if they could. Basketball can't have spring practice but football can, baseball can't play in the fall because it will interfere with football but football can have spring practice during baseball season. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out that tssaa has said to heck with the kids, show me the money. Somewhere down the road the schools are going to have to say the heck with tssaa.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
