Moving to Division II

[Booger]

Booger just sayin

How does Lipscomb, with 518 students, get to move BELOW the 451 student cutoff line to play in the smaller schools classification for all sports other than football?

 

Tennessean is reporting they will be D2-A, not D2-AA, for non-football sports with two classifications.

The cutoff for football to be D2-AAA is 530 in everything else except wrestling and bowling the cutoff between the D2A and D2AA is 451 because their is only two classes

Right -- and they have 518 students in their high school. They should be D2-AA, not D2-A. Tennessean is reporting that they will basically "play down" despite being nearly 70 students over the limit.

 

That is crazy.

So let's recap what we know so far with toromorrow being the deadline

Going D2 - Concord Christian, CAK, Boyd Buchanan, Silverdale, Chattanooga Christian, Grace Baptist (Chatt), Goodpasture, CPA, Nashville Christian, MTCS, Lipscomb, and Jackson Christian

 

Staying D1 - Columbia Academy, Clarksville Academy, Trinity Christian, Grace Christian (Franklin)

 

Undecided - Knoxville Catholic, Grace Christian (Knox), Notre Dame

 

Looks like the East is staying quiet until decision day

I believe Notre Dame announced yesterday that they are moving to D2. Still waiting on an official announcement, but Grace is also headed to D2. That should just leave Catholic

I'm confused by this as well. How can they be in D2-A with that enrollment number? Any Lipscomb insiders know something the rest of us don't?

Curious to see how they set the districts/regions in the A and AA divisions.  In A, with 15 teams, will they have 2 or 3 regions.  If 3 regions - East - Chatt Grace, Concord, Kings, Friendship, MTCS......Middle - Ezell, MJCA, DCA, Zion, Davidson...... West - Jackson, Tipton Rosemark, Memphis Catholic, Rossville, Fayette Aca.  The next question is how will they do the playoffs....how many teams will go....4 teams like they do now.  Lots of questions to be answered.

you can officially count the the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in...announced last night....watch out BA and Ensworth

Not sure how the Tennessean article is worded, but Lipscomb will be playing in the upper half in all sports but football.  There was never any possibility that things would be otherwise in those sports.  If the Tennessean said otherwise, they are mistaken.
