Wow.....so I guess the BA incident of the mid 90's is old news....MBA now gets strapped to the recruiting whipping post for the next 15-20 years......takes all the focus off BA! :rolleyes: Seriously...this case makes the BA ticket/letter for spring practice fiasco look like childs play....this is a MUCH worse situation than BA's....it appears the MBA administration has lost control of what is going on at the school...sorry to hear the findings. As a DII fan, I have always admired MBA's program.....very disappointing.

 

 

While I agree these allegations are more egregious than he CA issues of several years ago, the difference is that BA decided to attempt to flex its muscles and fight--taking the issue to a much more high profile level. MBA is smart to take its punsihment and move on.

I'd expect nothing less from you, and the MBA people I know. I have a great deal of respect for MBA the school, the institution, and the family. This is a sad day, and you are right, the TSSAA and M

There is nothing to the punishment! IMO, the TSSAA is broke due to the BA legal expenses and decided to take the road of least resistance and fine MBA (helps the bank account)along with making them vacate their championships. MBA knows the TSSAA is broke and probably indicated that they would fight any post season ban in the court system which could have been very expensive for the TSSAA. This is not the same MBA that Coach Bennett and Coach Owen were part of for so many years.

The biggest difference in the BA case was that BA fought to the end out of principle. They refused to admit any wrongdoing since they believed none occurred--the school was willing to fight because they were confident, and still are, that they were innocent.

 

Even the most critical observer is hard pressed, I believe, to prove that what BA was accused of doing was wrong. Let's see, send a letter to some students about spring practice who had already sent in enrollment deposits. Its ok in the TSSAA's eyes for the students to participate in spring practice, they just can't be notified about it. I would call that issue many shades of grey.

 

MBA was caught red handed, with both hands in the cookie jar. When that happens, it's best to bend over and take it.

I'm sure at least the people who lost their jobs because of this (Goia? spell check) are going to care . . But I could be wrong.

 

Also, it counts more than winning when everyone not affiliated with MBA football will see it as a program with dishonest intentions. This is more because of the recent coach firing scandal than the fact there were multiple accounts of recruiting going on for the past decade (numerous instances cited in the CityPaper)

We can all agree that MBA is stocked with intelligent people. It is one of the premier secondary schools in Nashville, the state of Tennessee and the Southeast. Thus, it is laughable to contend that key administrators, trustees and coaches had such poor knowledge of basic TSSAA rules that their actions were unintentional and well-intended.

 

Were their hearts in the right place with regard to their desire to help needy students? Quite possibly. But their minds were in the right place, too. They knew what they were doing. They got caught. And to pretend their actions stem from a lack of knowledge is to assume we are all idiots.

      And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…

      Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads.

      Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.

      After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time.

      Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
