TSSAA Proposal Changes?

[rikberry]

ALL programs (public and private) recruit or de-recruit, whether they mean to or not.  Good programs will draw players without actually going out and seeking them and bad ones will drive players away.  Many times poor programs or losers make themselves feel better by telling themselves that all their problems are because others are recruiting their players away thereby absolving themselves of any responsibility for their condition.  I understand that many programs actively recruit but all programs draw or repel players.  Build it and they will come.

thinkin and believin Hargis been readin what Booger been postin on T all along...great article that tells it like it gonna be

 

http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/sports/columns/story/2015/sep/04/warning-public-schools-be-careful-whyou-wish/323433/

 

and our kids finally get to shed that ridiculous label of being told by TSSAA that they are .08 x better than the PUBS

 

Booger just sayin

What he left out is that most of the D1 privates can't afford to pay much more financial aide than they already are paying. The new rules just closed some loopholes and will force many of them to play in D2 against their peers. They already pay coaches more and have twice as many as most publics so I don't see how the coaching rule change helps privates very much. If anything, it makes it easier for the publics to bring in more volunteer coaches.

We've been told for years the small private schools barely can continue

operating, now they have excess to begin offering athletes on a large

scale? Maybe it's not as "on" as the eager Chattanooga private schools in the article believe.

I really don't think you understand what has taken place here.  You now must decide if you are going to stop giving any type of aid to athletes or you go D2.  I will agree that athletes who parents work for TCA will not be affected. However, the key to understanding what took place is knowing what falls under a Financial Assistance Program. It includes the money that has been available at TCA for athletes who are not involved in varsity sports. Students can no longer do work study and  tuition discounts or financial aid if you play below varsity. Read your own website and you will see that TCA has been giving aid.  It all stops now or you go D2.  I'm sure Mr. Northcutt will soon realize like you that a decision will have to be made about changing the financial aid policy at his school or he can enjoy going to D2. 

You are still wrong.  TCA does not do work study programs for athletes for your information.  By the way, you do realize that the rulings this past week by the TSSAA only have an effect on varsity sports?  TCA does not offer the financial aid that was outlawed in this weeks rulings.  In fact, no financial aid is given to any TCA athlete.  You should have listened to my interview with  Coach Northcut at half time of the Adamsville game.  I will take his knowledge of the events over yours sir.

Unless I read it wrong, looks as if no decision on where the schools will be until October 2016. That leaves very little time for deciding on number of classifications, getting enrollment figures, then setting regions, since each step has taken months in the past.

That's because they expect very little to change.

So no real need for reclassification.

One of the articles said a drop to four classes in Division I is being looked at. That's exactly what I meant in a previous post, so they can say "you got what you asked for (if more than just a couple go to Division II), now live with it." Four classes would put a minimum of 75 teams in each, giving an avg of 9+ in each region. That would kill many non region money games. On top of that, the school size in each class would differ widely, one of the reasons they created the "Super 32." Was to address that at least among the largest schools.
