That is very interesting...not sure what to make of it.

I'm not sure what to make of it either.

 

What are the eight schools in question? When I think of Shelby County, I think of far more than eight schools. Are we talking the larger ones only (Whitehaven, etc.)?

These are the Shelby County High Schools:

Hmm.. 5A schools for the most part - is Southwind 5A?

 

Any guesses as to why they'd want to go DII?

Glad it got voted down...it would have ruined DII...

The county schools that are being diiscussed in this article are the public schools that are IN Shelby County but NOT in the City of Memphis. Hit the link below and every school that is listed is a Shelby County school. The public schools on the list that ARE NOT listed as Memphis schools are the schools in question.

It shouldn't even be an option for public schools to be in DII

AP ... I think that was the general thought by those who set up the classificaion system. I don't think they gave a thought about public schools wanting to get into the D2 classification. But ... now that there has been an interest by Shelby County schools ... now the question remains ... what's going on in Shelby County that those schools want to be classified as D2 schools?

Southwind is a City of Memphis school, they aren't involved in this.

Drop Southwind and add Cordova.

Follow the money !!!!!

That's my guess.... Somewhere, somehow those unspecified Shelby County Schools have probably done some calculations that indicate some sort of financial advantage, as a result of switching to D-II.
