Tennessee Temple dropping football program

[just4fun]

According to the Times free press, Tennessee Temple is dropping their football program effective immediately. Probably not a surprise to many people in the Chattanooga area.

Not that anybody really cares at this point, but they CHEATED and really got away with it. When they saw that they could not win without cheating they threw in the towel!

How exactly did they cheat?

Old Pirate says it's sad the kids are forced to suffer for the wrong doing of adults. OP wishes all the kids good luck finding other teams or sports to finish their high school playing days.

Go back and read posts under Temple and there are enough to keep you busy until the weather warms up! They had kids practicing, playing, etc. that were not even students in their school. They have/are having boosters pay tuition for athletes. They have lied repeatedly about and during the investigation.

I wonder if everyone can find a 10th game now or if it is too late like John Allen said in the article.

That's unfortunately the way it always goes OP. The players (and fans) suffer for what someone else does. It happens in college football all of the time and as you can see it trickles down into high school as well.

 

Like you though, I wish the innocent kids the best of luck.

Yeah Tennessee Temple Cheated! The b-ball program also isnt innocent! However John Allen should have nothing to say because he is the biggest recruiter of them all. He should be a recruiter for UTC because the man does have an eye for talent. And he knows how to put that talent to use and leave them alone after they are no longer eligible. Just like a college coach

Old Pirate says come on now t-mac.....you're not a member of the breakfast club?...... It's amazing what a little hunger can do to a body, mind & sole. OP is one that hopes/wishes he gets what coming his way. The bad is it'll be something like TT and the inocent kids will pay the piper. He's like a slick used car saleman, will tell you annyything.

 

OP wonders.......doesn't he look an awlful like that Slick Rick photo? Hmmmmm?

He certainly has the grin.
