If they all go (which is doubtful) add another round of playoffs to help make up for it. Drop week zero since scheduling should now be easier with non region games not affecting the playoffs.

Kinda' confused me when he said 20 years ago we thought (the split) was a big problem, and today it's still a big problem...then said that they need "a minimum of two more years" to study it to avoid (I'm paraphrasing here) a knee jerk reaction.

The TSSAA is going to keep on until all the public schools drop out of the organization and form their own Tennessee Public School organization. I wish it would happen. Then drop to 3 classes. Have single A up to around 450, Double A from 451-999, and Triple A 1000 and up.  I guess this is too simple though.

TSSAA is scared too death that they will loose a dollar if a split happens.

We have a winner!!

Just to be clear.

I'm the dad of a private school player who is in favor of the split.

The multiplier is BS and there's no fair way to balance it out so split it up.

Glad to hear that a private school supporter agree's. Here (west), the privates stand to better their programs more than the publics, yet they are solidly against the split. There are enough privates now in and around Jackson to fill their schedule (with a couple of publics) and not have to travel across the state for playoff games.

I'd say we will have some of the privates that jumped to d2 come back to 2a next year. That might level the playing field a little more.

If the small and mid sized schools have to compete with private schools they should open it back up for the Ensworths and MBAs to play in AAA/6A.

Yep....See what happens when Maryville has to play the big dogs. 1A, 2A and 3A have suffered the most but it is really not football but the minor sports such as soccer and softball. The privates are making big strides in basketball and baseball too. Not sure that the Childress lead association has high school athletics best interest at heart. TSSAA is sure sitting on a lot of bucks for some reason.

Slice- Like and appreciate your POV. What is bad for you guys at Boyd Buc is that you abide by the rules imposed. You do not take advantage of loopholes and gray areas regarding financial aid as some of your Chattanooga brethren. Most of your sport programs go through the same cycles as most small publics schools do.

If you have to cheat to win, dose the victory really mean anything? To some it's more important to be called champ than to be one.

 

It's like those guys who don't count all there strokes in golf and tell their buddies they shot 7 over par. Everyone knows the truth.

(In both golf and football)
