y2kgt46 Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) Here is my rendition. This is based off of the enrollment figures from October of 2012 that were used to set the 2013-2017 seasons. Obviously some other factors can be used in figuring out which teams go where, but thought this was a good start. Some schools would probably want to play up in class. Class Enrollment D2-A 0-250 D2-AA 251-400 D2-AAA 400+ D2-A District: W M1 M2 E Fayette Acad. Davidson Acad. Clarksville Acad. Friendship Rosemark DCA Columbia Acad. Grace Baptist Rossville Ezell-Harding Middle TN Chr. King's Academy Trinity Nashville Chr. Zion Christian Mt. Juliet Chr. D2-AA District: W1 W2 M E ECS Jackson Chr. BGA Boyd-Buchanan FACS Northpoint(SBEC) CPA Grace Chr. Harding Acad. St. George's FRA Notre Dame Lausanne USJ Goodpasture Silverdale Acad. D2-AAA District: W M E1 E2 Briarcrest Brentwood Acad.

cbg Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Look for there to only be two divisions and not three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indian Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) Class A: Region 1: Knoxville Grace, King's Academy, CAK, Knoxville Webb Region 2: Notre Dame, Boyd-Buchanan, Chattanooga Grace, Chattanooga Christian, Silverdale Region 3: Friendship, SAS (if they bring back 11-man football), Columbia Academy, MTCS, Mt Juliet Christian, Zion Christian Region 4/Region 5: Davidson Academy, DCA, Ezell-Harding, Goodpasture, BGA, Nashville Christian, CPA, FRA, Clarksville Academy Region 6: Trinity, Jackson Christian, USJ, then 3 other Memphis schools (not sure about locations) Region 7: 7 Memphis schools Class AA: East/Middle: Baylor, McCallie, Knoxville Catholic, Brentwood Academy, Ensworth, Brentwood Academy, Father Ryan, Lipscomb, MBA, PJPII West: Briarcrest, Christian Brothers, MUS, St Benedict Knoxville Catholic would be the odd team out in this set-up, but in any system will have a few like that. York Institute with no nearby teams in their class, is a good example. Four in the west makes for uneven playoffs. Seven regions in Class A doesn't make for even playoffs, but with byes it could be done. Edited June 20, 2014 by Indian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y2kgt46 Posted June 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 I think 2 classes in other sports will work, but the MJCAs, Zions, King's of the world will never have a chance with a loaded D2-A. Plus with more privates popping up, you will be able to add accordingly. cbg might be right, but 3 classes would be better football-wise, imho.

DougS Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Just curious, how many of the privates that play D1 now, that have enrollments that put them in the smaller D2A, request to play with the larger schools in D2AA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambler Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 3 divisions will be formed. The big division of d2 now will stay the same. The current smaller division of d2 would see some go down to the smallest division. Lipscomb goodpasture CPA dca due to their size and type of school would fit well with bga fra usj fra Harding academy. Mtcs jcs mjca Columbia academy trinity would fit with small schools. It would be quality athletics at those 3 levels. Two levels would polarize to many schools. Tssa won't have to worry about it they will form their governing body.

NonUTFan Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 I agree there would 3 classes according to people close to Tssaa - but I would love to see the privates leave Tssaa and start their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredjones Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 When the split happens, the privates will form their own group independent of the TSSAA and will have their own set of rules. Let the open recruiting begin!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbg Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 When the split happens, the privates will form their own group independent of the TSSAA and will have their own set of rules. Let the open recruiting begin!!!Both the public and private schools have been recruiting since the beginning of high school athletics so what makes you feel that anything is going to change with another association.

One is when you go from public to private you won't have to set out a year. You will have kids playing their freshman and sophmore year at a public and the go to a private and play immediatly.

Gambler Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 The main reason privates would form their own league is for financial benefits. Why give the tssaa a cut if you don't have to? Keep more money for the schools and control classification and postseason independently. Also the transfer thing would be interesting. A split is a longway from being done but not as long as it was at one time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
confuciuschang Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 confucius say...the privates WON'T form their own division....or they would have already done it....smh...They will remain under the TSSAA or not be recognized on a national level....now, i'm not saying that the TSSAA might not change the rules in D2( like no sit out for transfers,etc)....but the privates don't have the kahunas to break away...
