I'm sure Booger can feel my pain on this but it's expensive having a kid play at Catholic, they have athletic fee that athletes pay, (or its added on to the tuition), you have to pay for books, on the football team each player is responsible for raising so much money (or its added on to the tuition), this year we have to get our kids laptops (they are not provided for) and this $7 lunches per day...ouch (my kids will be taking lunches). Tuition and fees pay for salaries, and the everyday running of the school like utilities and water etc. The arch diocese does not provide as much funding as you think. I doubt seriously if the bishop would funnel money to stock pile a football team at Catholic and Notre Dame. Catholic does a great job of fundraising money for the school and the athletic teams all do there own. I teach at a public school in Knoxville and parents ask all the time about their kid going to Catholic and then give me a death stare when I tell them there are no scholarships you have to pay your own way.

I work with a guy .. his brother had some kids go there and the dad was in a furniture restoration business ... he musta made some good money cause they had trainers coming to the home to work out his kids ... I said wow .. there is some cash there .... when u can afford to have trainers come to you !!!!

For those of you new to D2, welcome.   You will not see as many posts on these message boards but remember each post actually counts as 1.8 posts on the D1 board, so in theory it evens out.

Make all privates move to D2 and be done with it.  Set there region schedule and let them play D1 schools as non region games.  MAKE ALL PRIVATES PLAY D 2!

He must have had a great hook up, because no trainer has ever come to my house and my daughter was a 4 year varsity starter she broke her foot twice and suffered two torn ACL, my son has started in hoops and football since his freshman year and he's had concussions, severe sprains and back injuries and we made the trek to KOC. Your friend must have paid the trainer or he's blowing smoke up your --- just kidding. If he was able to get attention like that more power to him.

you called it Q; but Booger takin one thang outta that.......theres only one Catholic HS in Chattanooga......how many Diocese in TN and where r they?......where is the nearest one to ND......yall will be down in a few weeks; compare our facilities to yours.......and we r still makin the annual Pilgrams trip to Fox Lonas Road in Knoxville every other year to play yall for a reason.....

 

you guys r big and good enuff to not dodge this new class yall have been in.....it would not even be a consideration for the Knox Catholic round table if yall were at the top of DII AA

Booger just sayin :thumb:

Booger I was under the impression that Chattanooga and Knoxville are in the same diocese. There's only one Catholic high school in Knoxville too. Last year we beat you guys by what...3? None of the games have been blowouts. Always competitive. Edited by QSouth89

You said you have a friend that coaches at Catholic he should be able to tell you.

Never said I had a friend that coached there .. said I knew a coach there .. I just moved here from Nashville with my job and he is neighbor .. we discussed cutting grass more than anything .. lol .. but just a little football .. so I'm not real familiar with privates on this end of state .. if you don't care to answer my previous questions then don't.. sounds like u trying to skirt issue .. but next time I run into neighbor I will see what he says .. take care

Thats on me then, I misread your post. Webb (our rival) and the other is CAK. In fact we don't play Webb in anything anymore after they chose to discontinue the series and we still play CAK in everything but football (we are in the same district in all sports but football) both schools are less then 5 miles from KCHS. Webb is D2 and their AD said in the paper that rivalry was too intense and needed a "break" (that coming after the Irish ended a 4 year losing streak to them) and to be honest just not a lot of tradition with CAK (D1 as well), the schools have only played 4 times (Catholic won all 4). With them getting a new coach maybe they'll play again. Edited by QSouth89

You may be correct ..i said maybe Maryville .. but yes some of the D2 Privates are like playing small colleges ... but doesnt look like Knox Cath wants any part of that... but I thought if scholl gave financial aid that it had no choice .. you mean to tell me noone at KC gets any financial aid from anywhere ?? Donor or  Church etc ???? 

 

To the best of my knowledge the rule states that if  a school participates in D1 no student athletes may receive financial aid.  I have been told that the TSSAA is trying to close all the loopholes such as "work study", parents of athletes being placed on the school staff but never do any work and the siblings of athletes receiving the financial aid instead of the student athlete.  There are legal loopholes that have been around for many years and the TSSAA had their head in the sand.

 

With regard to Knoxville Catholic going into D2 you have two major problems.  With no D2AAA teams in Knoxville or upper East Tennessee the travel would be brutal and expensive.  You also have the problem of having to play with the "BIG BOYS" and I am starting to believe that the KC principal has developed a case of the yellow midriff just like his former high school wrestling coach.  KC could compete in D2AAA but they would have to make a serious commitment to athletics.

It is my understanding that tuition discounts for multiple children also fall under the TSSAA rule so any private school offering a 2nd, 3rd, 4th child discount will be forced to either stop giving that discount or go DII.   I may be wrong but that was the interpretation that I heard.

 

Doesn't matter if it is an athlete or not. It goes for all students.

Who would police that ?? TSSAA doesnt have any way to check that .. so guess it honor system ???

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      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.
