[GetRidofSystem]

FOR THOSE of you who would like to see a change in the classification and playoff system these are the guys who can make a difference. Bernard Childress does not make the rules nor does he have the final say. The TSSAA board of controls can vote in TWO weeks to do away with the current system. IF you like to see 1-9 teams make the playoffs or if you enjoy watching your 1A, 3A, & 5A team being penalized by forcing them to play a class above then go ahead.

 

BERNARD only wants to slap a band-aid on this thing. PER Article in the Tennessean.----Prep Football Playoff won’t face a total revision. That’s OK , but you don’t make the decision’s BERNARD.

 

THIS can be done. The Board of Controls needs to put this thing up for a vote. If the following men represent your school then you need to contact your school principal or the Board of Control Member ASAP before the vote in two weeks. THEY NEED to listen to the FANS. WE PAY the money to go and watch these games. MOST of us don’t want to see this crappy system or classification anymore!!!!

 

WE NEED TO RECLASSIFY EVERYONE!!! WE NEED TO separate the classes. THERE IS NO justification why 5A & 6A teams have, and etc.. HAVE to play each other to earn playoff spots. GET RID OF IT.

 

Six of the nine Board of Control members were contacted this week, and all six agreed with Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association executive director Bernard Childress that the system should be tweaked.

 

But unlike Childress suggested Saturday, there will be no immediate return to the old playoff format, which took the top four teams from each region.

 

"It would be very difficult to go back to the old system because right now we're in the middle of a two-year (game) contract period," Childress said.

 

COACHES have said all across the state that these contract can be ripped up and WE CAN start over again.

 

Childress plans to address his concerns about the new format at the Board of Control meeting Nov. 19. Only the Board of Control can make changes, and the executive director doesn't have a vote.

 

CONTACT these people or your principals and tell them how you feel. YOU DO HAVE A SAY. Your principals elect the board members every two years. Lets re-classify and get rid of the system!!!
