As Paul Newman said in COOL HAND LUKE,

 

"Where are you now?"

 

 

The lawsuit is over. Will the TSSAA file to recover

their legal fees?

 

Now what?

 

 

The lawsuit has costed each member of the tssaa a lot of money with very little accomplished. Time to move on.

Most all of the people that had anything to do with this from Brentwood Academy are no longer at the school. With that said it is probably time for a change at the TSSAA offices and the Board of Control so that the healing process is able to take place and the organization can decide which road they wish to travel in the future. All successful businesses have a 5 and 10 year plan and I would like to know what the 5 and 10 year plan for the TSSAA is and where to find it.

It is time to move on...and the best way to start would be for Ronnie Carter, who began this whole mess by charging BA with exerting "undue influence" in inviting kids to spring practice (a practice which he admitted during the trial was within the TSSAA's rules), to step down. I won't hold my breath.

 

You give Ronnie Carter way too much credit/blame in this. My impression is that he was by no means the driving force behind the initial issue. He probably could not have kept his job had he not done the bidding of the BOC members who wanted to "punish" Carlton Flatt. RC does not have evil intent...he's simply a bureaucrat.

Does anyone have the faintest clue as to what the legal tab for BA is up to this point?

Where does the money come for paying this? The parents? Current boosters? Concessions?

 

Based on nothing but my personal opinion, with no facts whatsoever to back it up, I doubt if there are any. At least some of the lawyers on the case are BA grads and I have assumed that this is pro bono for them. Makes sense when you think about how long this has lasted. If this is correct then only the TSSAA and their member schools, which of course includes BA, will have to pay for this.

    • 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.
