All the complaining from the privates about travel...I don't see it, at least in the west.Regions 6, 7, and 8 are probably closer knit in this proposal than the old districts that the DI privates played in. 15A frequently had one hour travel times for games, and the furthest two approached two hours apart...don't see that here.

I would think that any school over 400 students should be in the larger division, especially if there is only two divisions.  The smaller schools would never be able to compete with CPA, Notre Dame, Knox Webb, CAK, etc.  That is why I think TSSAA will move to three classifications. Just my opinion though. It does make more sense for travel purposes to stay with two.

I cannot see only two classes. In fact I heard three classes from a prominent head master.

Playoffs would have to be done differently, but with those 16 could seed 8 in east and 8 in west

Has any private school actually made the announcement to move yet?  Since the TSSAA ruling at the start of the 2015-2016 school year, are there any private schools that currently compete in Division I that are officially planning to move into Division II by the 2017-2018 school year?  I've heard rumors of Chattanooga Christian and Notre Dame.  Can anyone confirm any specific schools or perhaps even some rumors?  I know they still have plenty of time but I'm just curious.  Or are we all just assuming that every private school will definitely leave Division I?

Mainly because only about 8-10 schools could afford the travel costs involved. That would also not take into account the lost classroom time. Most of those top schools are also top academic institutions. Sounds great in theory, but will never happen.  The travel involved with a total split just within the state will be enormous.

 The privates will definitely split from the Tssaa in the near future. If all the schools mentioned above move to DII they have more than enough to form their own league and run it as they see fit. It would be even more of a benefit in some of the other sports. As far as making a super league with other states that would be costly for some and I cant see everyone agreeing to that but my gut feeling is they will definitely move from the Tssaa soon.

Do you really think all the private schools will split? Who will govern them? Some may split eventually but I seriously doubt it happens sooner than a decade and even then it will not be every school. From a management standpoint an organization exactly like the TSSAA would have to be created. If thats the case then why split?

 

Ive had this conversation with a head master at arguably the best private school program in the state and he does not believe it will happen nor has he heard any movement to do so. This HM has been right about everything else the TSSAA has done for classification realignment.

what school was it considering you are talking about the “best private school".. And they would govern themselves and from management they probably would use ADs and School Leaders to govern it about what the rules are and what not..

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • 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.
