BackinTN Posted December 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Backintn I'm going to have to agree with 5star about this tuition. 2200$ here on the Monroe/Loudon County line amounts to about 4 or 5 of my calves a year. Not cheap to me in no way. That only leaves me about 5 calves to sell to provide the gas money to transport my scrub to Maryville, buy him the fancy clothes(Nike of course) to fit in, and all that tutoring to keep him eligible. To beat all, GQ couldn't get his freezer lid shut down over them T-bones and Ribeye steaks so I had to hire Lloyd S. Collins to deliver a bigger freezer. So that's enough talk about cheap tuition! Only benefit I've seen so far is the garbage service( thx stars )! 193 kids at Alcoa are paying it, so they figured something out. Someone in a different post said it was around 100 at Maryville in 2010. That was unofficial and I suspect the number is somewhat higher. All calves aside, people are doing it in fairly large numbers. Do you live inside the school zone that your student attends? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldRebel2 Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) So it sounds like you live inside the school zone boundaries...that's not the group being discussed. Its the tuition paying students from outside of the school zone. Yep, you're talking about those three, I mean twenty three, kids on the varsity football team at MHS.

BackinTN Posted December 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Your post has no validity since the supporter acted stupidly, he must be stupid which is name calling. While you can attempt to infer name calling from that post, describing actions is not describing the person. What I actually did call him is a dolt.

BackinTN Posted December 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Yep, you're talking about those three kids on the varsity football team at MHS. So you are stating that 3 varsity players are paying tuition and do not live in the school zone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wb85 Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 BackinTn your never going to get any where with your argument. All your going to get is smart butt answers like creb (traitor) and others who enjoy all this stuff. Maryville plays by the rules as they are. They are winning and that is the biggest recruiting tool they have. Kids that could start at other schools are willing to sit and wait their turn. The only easy way to stop ooz is to make it to where an oozer can't play sports at that school. Then you force the parents to move if it's that important to them. Good luck.

I'm not trying to get anywhere. I'm one of those that enjoy all this stuff too. This is cheap entertainment and no more than that. Maryville and Alcoa folks are so very sensitive. That is surprising based on their great programs. Cue the "everyone hates us because we win" chorus... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldRebel2 Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 So you are stating that 3 varsity players are paying tuition and do not live in the school zone? I seriously think it's five or fewer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually suspect there are fewer now because of over crowding and growth in the city. Edited December 13, 2013 by OldRebel2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
