NoNameD Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 If T$$AA does not do the right thing and make the privates quit riding the public school train for free, publics need to form their own association and end this power for money game the T$$AA has been running for too long.

FootballFan51 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 I think one unintended consequence of a true split will be that public school overall talent will decrease. This will disadvantage public schools in larger cities (that have privates nearby), but it probably won't hurt the rural schools nearly as much. If the D1 smaller privates in Chattanooga can give athletic scholarships, most of the kids would probably come from the Tyners, Brainerds, East Ridges, Chattanooga Central, Red Bank, etc. This will really water down these schools (even more than the Baylors & McCallies already have). Same goes for basketball, etc. I'm not strongly for or against a split, but I do think the quality of public school athletics in bigger cities will suffer dramatically.

I think it could be argued that McCallie and Baylor already get their pick from those schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grunt Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 This is something that should have happened years ago. Remains to be seen if the T$$AA has the backbone to get it done. Not holding my breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FootballFan51 Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 I think it could be argued that McCallie and Baylor already get their pick from those schools. Of course they do. My point was that 4-5 other schools will now get their share too & the talent will be watered down much more at the public schools in the urban areas.

Notre Dame, CCS, and Boyd also already get their fair share of kids from Signal. Splitting the publics and privates won't change any of that. They also already give "tuition subsidies, tuition discounts, and financial assistance". It won't change anything if they start calling it "financial aide".

Monkey Wrench Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Everyone assumes that all these private schools even give scholarships, especially the smaller ones...These schools have to operate from tuition and fees, they arnt getting money from the state, you all need to quit assuming that these schools can even afford to fund the whole football teams tuition that oh so many of you like to insinuate.
