[RedUp]

I have heard RUMORS

 

WEST

USJ

Zion

Mt Juliet

EAST

Knox Grace

David Brainerd

I don't see David Brainerd moving to Division II if the others such as Temple, Grace, don't as well. There could be a six or seven team Chattanooga region in every sport if they all moved-DB, Grace, Temple, Boyd-Buchanan, Chattanooga Christian, Silverdale and possibly Hamilton Heights in a couple more years-but as of now DB would have no Division II region opponents in the area.

David Brainerd was in DII when they started the school. They realized it was a mistake and moved to DI. Don't see them going back. Too many football trips to Memphis.

If you remember Goodpasture was also in D2 and got back in D1 ASAP. I have not heard of any D1 schools that want to play football in the upper division of D2.

That is a completely inaccurate and false statement. Goodpasture has never been a part of D2. They've played 2A football before the split and after. There was a ton of talk that they weren't moving to 3A like Lipscomb was with the multiplier.

In 1997 and 1998 they were in Division II.

1997 and 1998, combined 8-13 record. 1995 Class 2A champ, 1996 state-runner up, 1999 state champ, 2000 state runner-up, no wonder they jumped back into Division I.

Goodpasture most assuredly was in Div.II for 2 years before the returned to D-1

They came back to 2a with aid players....namely Shaka Hill.

Would you like to take back your statement? You may be the one that is wrong!

I do not think anyone every really said how Goodpasture handled their return to DI with players who had originaaly been on Financial aid. I assume they were simply no longer granted that aid money but I remember that it was a hot topic at the time.

 

As for schools moving to Div. II I keep hearing that FRA is mulling it over.

I have been told that the players on financial aid were grandfathered in and allowed to continue to keep their financial aid but no new players were allowed financial aid.

 

IMO, there are no teams (public or private) in D1 that want to play football in the highest classification of D2.
