They have made a Division II for Private Schools so why do they play in other areas? Smaller Private Schools play in DII A and larger play in DII AA. Someone tell me why? /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

 

More teams mean more $$$ for Ronnie Carter and the T$$AA. It is as simple as that.

There wouldn't be any fewer teams unless the private schools went off and formed their own organization. I fail to see why a Division II, Class A baseball state tournament maybe featuring CAK, David Brainerd, Friendship, Nashville Christian, Goodpasture, FRA, USJ, Jackson Christian would be so offensive and horrible an event the way private school supporters on here seem, to think. Softball might end up somewhat similar, with teams like Trinity and Chattanooga Christian probably involved. Those were examples mostly based on record and would also depend on how the districts and regions were drawn up. As has been said here numerous times, with all the private schools in, there could be eight districts from Knoxville to Memphis , with five to seven teams in each district. Regions would match Knoxville vs Chattanooga, midstate vs Nashville, Nashville vs Jackson and Memphis vs Memphis teams. Brentwood Academy and the rest could still play Division II, AA so there would be nothing to fear there. The multiplier of course would be thrown out. I get the feeling some of these private schools, knowing they'll be better than the majority of public schools, are content with being above average overall, keeping fans and alumni happy-while they'd be mediocre or worse if placed in an all private school division.

I think he meant AAA in baseball and softball.

 

 

Oh......OK.

Since he had the name "ref" I thought he might be indicating other sports as well.

Didn't know they had "refs" in baseball or softball. /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" /> /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

Actually Division II was not made for privates...it was made for schools who give finacial aid to atheletes...the privates who play in DIvision I have elected to give no aid to athletes...so they are still in Division I...

 

Div II was made for privates no matter how you word it. Better still, it was made for private schools that refused to discriminate against any individual simply because they happen to play a sport. If you are in financial need, you are in need period. Hats off to the Division II privates who still make it possible for almost anyone to attend if they so choose. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure. 
    • This whole situation is bonkers. You don’t just kick your star player off the team just because you heard them say the F word; the coach definitely had something against the player, or somebody definitely did. Also, nobody has brought up the idea that the school blackmailed the college to get the college to withdraw the scholarship offer, not to mention that the coach who kicked her off is no longer even with the program; they were fired. I think this is a pretty easy lawsuit. I don’t know if she should deserve that much money, but I think she should get enough money for a full-ride scholarship if she cannot get one after this situation.
    • Oh yeah, I’m sure you are different people just always on the same thread for some reason, always agreeing with each other, perhaps just a bunch of dorks who would like to ###### and moan about high school football coaches do a lot of other students, so you make a football team and get a yell at them. When they do something wrong, but I’m sure you don’t like that, do you?   and I’m sure I’m aware of where you get information. A teacher who was on the coaching staff but was fired after the new coaching and staff came in and realized he actually had to start taking his assistant job a little bit more seriously than just wanting to make a little extra cash on the side, hardly even showing up to most practices, should’ve left with his buddy to go to Farragut. I’m sure he could get him a defensive coaching job, but I doubt he will be there in three years. Looking at the way Farragut is currently going.
    • It may be hard to believe but there’s more people than me that think you guys are a bunch of losers.    I’m sure the coaching staff, yourself included, cursed at a bunch of high school students. Nobody could name more than 3 coaches on staff due to the constant turnover.
