Have heard GP is laying the groundwork, and identified a couple of candidates........

 

Can you share any info? The question is not who will they target for HC, but the bigger question is will Goodpasture allow the HC to bring in some assistants who can coach football and also hire a HC who will not be worried about an assistant being just as good as he is.

.the whole point was, there are privates, and privates make the t$$aa money, so the t$$aa will not want to make them mad for potential pull out and loss of revenue.  

My point was twofold...I know the meaning of arbitrary, but it was a little much to round out your number to 50%. Secondly, only a handful of teams will have complaints with the split...those already in DII will benefit from it. A prime example is USJ...it's typical for them to have a 300+ mile trek in the playoffs as it is, with the split you eliminate that. If the large privates have no qualms (why would they?) now, and the small privates already in DII are bettered by it, that just leaves the small privates forced to compete in DII in the playoffs to potentially be unhappy.

The hold up with small privates is not the football. It's the other sports that have a lot more games and play during the week that are the problem. If you let schools D2 in football but stay with the publics for other sports I think most would agree without complaint.

I don't see the difference between football and the rest, but I'm not claiming to have all the answers...just seems obvious to me that there should be a split. Baseball, for instance...Goodpasture and JCS were the two to beat...multiplier added 633 students for Goodpasture, but they're allowed to compete in a lower division than enrollment dictates, and JCS's first season back in the public division (by their own choosing) after legally recruiting players for four years in DII. TSSAA is supposed to be a non-profit organization with a priority of "leveling the playing field" in the interest of fair play, but their own rules allow for the advantages that these two schools had to exist.

I can't argue against the split as I'm in favor of it.

Scheduling becomes a nightmare for basket ball and baseball if you have to play schools that are 200 miles away in your region. For football it's Friday night with much fewer games.

This is the reason many in Chattanooga haven't gone D2. Now if you just put everyone in D2 there are enough teams in your area to eliminate the problem. The only thing I would add is open enrollment schools should get the multiplier or go D2 also.

i wouldn't want to stop scheduling privates in the regular season, we have some great rivalries with privates.

No schools in TSSAA - public or private - can legally recruit. Recruiting athletes for athletics is illegal. Period. Only difference is D2 privates can offer need-based aid to athletes. I'm not saying recruiting doesn't happen. Just saying it's not legal for any school.

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
