TSSAA HERE IS THE ANSWER FOR MORE MONEY!

[airraid09]

1)TSSAA put in the Hall of Fame game for money in basketball, so just add $5.00 to the ticket of the first game of the year to all 167 games being played on week one; that additional $5.00 goes to TSSAA ($835,000) now we can go to 4 or 5 classes; go back to 8 Regions with 8 to 9 teams in each region, top 4 teams in.($835,000) is based on an average of 1000 paid fans at each 167 game sites.

2)Now go and use the same splits of gate money used in all the other sports, instead of the 50% TSSAA gets now off the gross gate.

Or just have 3 playoff tournaments. They would get 3 extra games, and would be more fair when picking the teams since they all play each other in the regular season. Would have to start the regular season a week earlier, but most teams already do, and have no bye week.

I don't think the T$$AA could screw up the football playoffs any worse if they tried to.Have they ever organized even a 1-horse parade? They take 50% of the gross from the football play-offs to fund their salaries and all the trips to conferences they attend and screw the very schools that need the money from post season to fund their programs.Now with won-loss records being #1 protocol for seeding in the playoffs Schools wil be forced to try to lighten up schedules dopping traditional "money" games in lieu of trying not to hurt their own playoff chances.Who were the Coaches on the committee who opted out of last years seeding method for this one?As usual coaches tend to look no farther than how something would have benefited themselves, not what woulde be fair.Warning to T$$aa; keep messing with a good thing(football)and you'll lose your gravy train by turning over your own wagon!

Any school in the state has the right not to be a TSSAA member. The TSSAA executive board makes all the regulations. In most cases it simply continues what occurs the year before. The TSSAA staff serves at the bidding of the schools they service. Many of you get on here and bash the staff but in actuality it is the board members who receive no pay that govern the state activities. Board members are principals and superintendents of different schools. An ignorant public complains the most, and educated public works for a better system. GO VOTE....
