Bringing all private schools back into Division I...

[cubs]

I think this would be a great thing for TSSAA. I completely hate that teams like Ensworth, MUS, and USJ have to play 13 games a year. Its also comparing Boise State (a few years ago) to Alabama. Boise State play the easy teams and go undefeated, while BAMA will play the hard teams and lose 1 game. And people think Boise is better then BAMA.

 

Also, since I live in West Tennessee, If USJ plays the regular season schedule that Jackson North Side played, USJ would be 5-5/6-4 in that area. A lot of private schools that are currently winning, WILL NOT play the public schools, because they DO NOT want to lose.

I have the ultimate solution. Publics start their own association and privates start theirs. Let Childress and the rest of the clowns down in Hermitage have their TSSAA. They are ROBBING each and every member school!

Agree!

This was voted down overwhelmingly in region meetings a few weeks ago by member schools.

Who knows the rules for transfers well?

[MTscouter]

If your transferring from a public to a private you have to sit a year. But if your gong from private to public do this Enid's still have to sit? Like they can't afford Turin or something like that? What's the rules for privates to public transferees

"Some of the schools (felt) like if everybody was back together that's going to move me to a higher class," Childress said. "I guess the uncertainty of how many classes do we have in Division I, how many classes do we have in Division II, what will the tournaments look like -- all of those questions weren't answered when the proposal was there, and I guess the uncertainty of all of that probably forced the schools to say no."

 

Maybe it will get picked up again in two years if details on the classes and playoffs can be worked out. I can't blame anyone for voting no without a full plan involved.
