IMO, you are missing the reason for reclassifying as far as CPA is concerned. And it has nothing to do with football. Could it have something to do with another sport and they eventually really don't care which classification in D2 that they play in, in fact, they would like to play in the large school. Their thrust is Basketball. Football would just be iceing on the cake. Aid is another issue and Overton is the other school population that could be involved. Just an opinion. IMO, CPA would not be happy in small school in anything because they thrive on a larger goal(goals), unless its changed.

 

The question of whether or not CPA is moving from DI to DII occurred on the Football Boards (maybe it's on the Basketball Board, too, but I haven't looked). It seemed natural to discuss the issue in the context of football.

 

CPA may, relatively, be better now in basketball than football. Its prospects of success going forward may be better in basketball than football. However, IMO, to say football has nothing to do with a potential decision is dubious. I don't know any football-playing school, and any football-playing private school in particular, where football is not a consideration in terms of the athletic department. BA may be the closest thing to a "basketball school" in large DII (based on D. Harrison and B. Wright this past decade), and that would include a large DII with CPA in it, but we all know what the show pony sport is on Granny White.

 

Would the upside in basketball by moving from DI to the large class in DII outweigh the downside of playing football in the large class of DII? CPA has won no boys basketball titles in DI, so they have nowhere to go but up in DII, even in the larger class. But I think even the most diehard CPA fan would say that the downside to football success is much larger in the larger DII football division. I admire the concept of "playing up", but I don't know any school where there is not some level of pride taken in athletics and the W/L column. If BA didn't win those AAAAA titles in 1995 and 1996 after all those years of playing at its natural classification and picking off titles left and right, do you think they would have stayed in AAAAA? And they probably would have had that decision, as the push from Murfreesboro to split the privates may not have occurred any time soon in that era.

As for multipliers in other states, I don’t know them off the top of my head, but Tennessee’s is high – maybe the highest there is among states with multipliers.

 

I've also heard that it's the highest. Others I'm aware of are 1.35 (Alabama), 1.5 (Missouri), 1.65 (Illinois), and a flat +1 class (Arkansas).

1.8 was just enough to move most of the privates up in class. TSSAA knew what they wanted to do and how to achieve it. IMO CPA will not move to DII but who knows.

You must be talking about one or two basketball players who uh hmm transferred recently. But they should care about whether they play in A or AA in Div II, it will be the difference between possibly winning titles and maybe never winning one. :D

      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.
