A levev playing field for all teams.

I've said over and over I wish the T$$AA would drop the split and multiplier and go to four classes accross the board with 10-12 regions in each class. Less travel, better rivalries, etc. etc. etc.

 

Alas, it's only going to get worse. Go down and watch your local youth football leagues and people will gripe about inequalites there in the first and second league games. I coach and ref a flag league at church and hear gripes from parents saying I have a vendetta against a coach (apparently he wasn't a good enough musician in my wedding so I am out to get him). Like you said baldcoach, we've created a mentality of finding every way possible to discredit the success of the successful in this country because it isn't perceived as "fair".

 

After the publics get rid of all privates, the open zoned and magnet schools will be next on the hit list because of "advantages". Who knows what will be after that. But there will be something, that I can promise you.

 

 

The persistent search for equity is called socialism...for more on that, watch Hillary's next debate.

Exactly! It is creeping in to our government, our courts (it is the opposite of personal responsibility), and now our sports...sad

 

 

Maybe thats what we should do. Pool all the athletes togther. Have an outside source rank them. Then have an assignmet proccess to divvy them to the schools. Everyone gets the same number of athleted and that have a cummulative score that is identical.

Thats about as asanine as what we are doing now. Right?

Anybody got a guess as to how many open zoned schools there are in the T$$AA? I don't mean that sarcastically, I really don't have any idea. I can just think of several off the top of my head.

 

And if you do that, what about the T$$AA rule allowing an athlete to play a sport at another school if their school does not offer that sport? Would you not have to put in the multiplier there too?

[Who are they off the top of your head. Yes put all schools that allow students from out of their zone to be eligible without living in their zone under the multiplier rule./quote]

Has anyone looked in to Nashville Hillsboro. They are an open school zone and also co-op with two schools that do not have football in Nashville. Why do they not have the multiplier applied to them. If I remember correctly they have been very succesful for many years. Can you believe it I did not mention Maryville at all this time.

not familiar with co-ops...what are they

 

If a public school does not offer a particular sport, a student from that school can play that sport at another designated school within that school system. The most glaring example I know about is in Maury County where a star basketball player from Culleoka (a small rural school) plays football for Columbia Central (a large 5A school). I don't know that it happens very often, but at least in this case, it makes a pretty significant impact.

Yeah it does. I think the intent is great. This kid has a chance to sign a college scholarship in football that would not exist without the co-op. Does it change the enrollment numbers? It should. The percentage of co op students to the total student population at Culleoka should be added to CHS's enrollment numbers imo. I don't know if that's how it actually works or not. I'm not sure a total combining of the two schools enrollment is equitable, but there's not much equity involved in high school sports in Tennessee in the first place.

The majority of public schools are open zoned in some way. ALL the publics in Hamilton County (and the other metro systems) are open in several ways. The only schools that can't take whatever transfer they want with no penalties are the privates.

LOL...it would be another way to get a "level playing field" I suppose...of course we would have to do the same thing to the coaches and have some formula to trade good players for bad coaches for it to be truly level.

 

It seems silly but it is the same thought process used for DII and the mulitplier...just carried out to its logical conclusion.

As far as the enrollment numbers, you are exactly right.

    • 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.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
