The reason nothing has been done is $$$. Or fear of loss of it. I don't see how 26 private schools could dominate the 200 or so publics. That is not a valid argument. Most of tenn is rural and live way too far from a private. Also who says an athlete pays to go to a private school? That's the idea you offer free tuition to stud athletes in the form of athletic or probably academic scholarships no matter how good a student they are. It's their discretion who and how scholarships and which ones are awarded. Full split. 26 cannot and will not dominate 200

Sounds a lot like how our government deals with, or rather fails to deal with, illegal immigration. We don't need more rules that won't be enforced. We need a wall.

You are somewhat correct in that the small classes (primarily 1A) would remain unchanged and remain relevant.  Rural schools would be the only classes that would not be dominated by the privates.  The small privates would really have to step up their game or be out of luck and all but the smallest publics far from urban centers would lose most of their talent to larger private school.  It has happened elsewhere.  In some states the public post season is an afterthought as the real state champions are in the private sector and the publics cannot compete.  The private championships are on TV and the publics are attended by friends and family because they are the only ones who care.  Great athletes want to compete on the biggest stage available to them and they will gravitate there.  The only way to keep them is to compete on the big stage. 

Why do the best football players in the country go to SEC schools? Even Vandy can say to their recruits that they will get an opportunity to play in the best conference in the country.  Some will want to be a big fish in a small pond but the majority goes where the game is.

true as it may be...you need an upper GI trak and testosterone producin kit to do what you want done....... even if it goes up, the ones you want gone are already here and theyr stayin.... unfortunately at this time, the less than fortunates who are strugglin with their percieved lack of inequities should go ahead and do what everyone else is doin......you cant stay afloat w/out us

The small privates don't want to change their mission, if so, they would have already done it.

Boog and I have crossed sabers before because the private thing is even more skewered in lesser sports.  I have watch some arguably talented (by public school standards) fail to get out of their own district because they share it with two privates.  Those two privates have combined for like the last 11 women's soccer championships. (CAK and KC)  I don't mind them winning state championships, but their advantages are night and day compared to my crew.  It gonna happen AGAIN this year too. (team currently 5-0 and have yet to face either CAK or KC)  The field in a lot of sports is NOT LEVEL.

Great point. The publics hold their own in football but you are exactly right about the other sports! I would love to see a breakdown of the total championships won by privates playing in the public sector vs the public schools with football left out of it. Maybe someone has the resources to provide that info.

Kazzy

 

we'r not the explosive team we were last year........our numbers are down a bit; lots of young freshman and sophomores havin to learn system and handle duty.......think we had 16 in our freshman class last year, less than half of them came back out this year (quit, transfered or booted because of grades or some other action).....and now we are dealin with 7 or 8 out with injuries; thinkin 5 or 6 of them starters...tuff loss against 3rd rank Tyner this past week....the game this week against CCS will let us know where have gone or not gone

 

as for that other team your talkin bout; have to be careful on here with the verbage or playerscoach will start callin out all his players in middle tn........ coach says they are strugglin......lookin for some sr. leadership maybe....lost a great sr. class..... not a good weekend in the Baylor tourney this past week for them and may not be good to them up at Bearden tourney this weekend...Booger will see them for the first time next week....been travlin to watch play on the Boogerette freshman collegiate tour

      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.
