JCS and USJ to move do DII

[Trojan Fan]

So where do you think the cutoff between DII A and AA will be?

 

 

I'm no expert but from looking at the numbers recently put up on tssaa.org, it looks like St. George's in Memphis is the biggest DII-A school currently at 372. Harding's at 367, SBEC at 362, University School of Nashville's at 361 (no football for them?). Battle Ground at 392 looks like the smallest of the DII-AA schools. Ensworth at 427. St. Mary's at 458 (girls only so actual enrollment of 229). Brentwood at 463 and so on.

So, with those A schools sort of bunched together at the top of that class I'm guessing they'll leave the line above them? Somewhere between 360+ and 390+. Of all the schools I've seen mentioned as moving over to DII (USJ, JCS, DCA, Zion, Franklin Road for sure, maybe Fayette, maybe CPA, etc.) all would fall into class A below that line.

 

Again, though, I'm just looking at numbers. I have no inside info. I know that Harding thought long and hard about playing up in AA two years ago but they decided to stay in A where the enrollment numbers put them.
