"TSSAA-Brentwood Academy decade-long lawsuit cost the TSSAA $2.7 million"

 

Figures were released at today's TSSAA BOC meeting.

There must have been something learned from all of that. Likely higher ticket prices.

Sounds about right.

 

No splits to consider when everyone gets to contribute to the bill.

Will the TSSAA sue the plaintiff for legal fees? Generally the plaintiff has the larger legal bill in a civil case. In this case, wonder if Barfield and BB&S gave BA a discount.

Why aren't TSSAA's full financial statements released to the public? All the TSSAA employees are state workers.

 

There is a story on the front page of 6-28 Tennessean about the dirty dealings of a similar "Non'Profit".

I understand that the decision was made not to go after BA for the attorneys fees paid by TSSAA. I bet the reverse would not have been true had BA prevailed.

I imagine their decision not to pursue BA for legal fees had to do with the liklihood they wouldn't prevail. Had BA's suit been without merit and determined to be frivolous they might have had a case. This case went through multi federal appeals and to the Supreme Court twice. Hard to call that frivolous.

Maybe the $30 I spent on "Spring Fling" parking will help the cause.

Money well spent? Considering the history of decision making over in Hermitage, is anyone really surprised?

U are absolutely correct! Fear not the TSSAA will get that money bring!

BA had decided to not pursue legal fees had they won. It would have been at the expense of member schools, and BA's administration didn't think it was in anyone's best interest to attempt to recoup.

BA was planning on going to camp at Sewanee. Are they there this week?
