TCVeritas Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 With a lot of the private schools opting to go to DII, what are your thought on possible enrollment cutoff for 1A-2A and what are some district/region alignments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddaddy Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 1A - up to 395 2A - up to 577 Just speculating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAmbassador Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 1A - up to 395 2A - up to 577 Just speculating If they keep 6 classes in D1, 1A cutoff will be much lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cherokean Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Speculation is if T$$AA try to put us in Region 1(like they tried once before), then we might move up to 2A...Personally idk how it will look...considering past memberships approvals over the last year for a handful of new schools, mainly west of Nashville, are going to be added to the ranks of 1A. Everybody's 20th day enrollment numbers should be in by the first part of September...I'm guessing we should know by mid-October what the new classification cycle will look like for the next 2-4 years.

pujo Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 If they keep 6 classes in D1, 1A cutoff will be much lower. I'd say they go 5 classes.1A cutoff should be around 400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlh Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) 1A - up to 395 2A - up to 577 Just speculating That is currently very close to the cutoff for 1A. 400 was the cutoff. http://tssaa.org/potential-football-classes-for-2015-16/ Edited July 20, 2016 by rlh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orngnblk Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 That is currently very close to the cutoff for 1A. 400 was the cutoff. http://tssaa.org/potential-football-classes-for-2015-16/ I think 300 is a fair number for 1A.IMO.Not many on the East side have 400 to choose from in 1A.Oneida may be the only one close to that number.Big difference in 200 to 400 kids not so much after those numbers.

WCHS_Wildcats_#2 Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 So to add to this discussion and of where the "cutoff" between 1A & 2A might come here is the teams between 375-425, going off numbers which are from the 2015 school year. Currently 2A: (12) 425-401 Enrollment East Robertson - 423 North Greene - 418 Halls - 416 Wartburg - 416 Eagleville - 414 Westwood - 413 Watertown - 411 McKenzie - 410 Oakhaven - 408 Cosby - 405 Hampton - 405 Oliver Springs - 402 Currently 1A: (11) 399-375 Enrollment Houston County - 399 Booker T. Washington - 399 Summertown - 398 Peabody - 395 Oneida - 393 Middle TN Christian - 385.2** Jellico - 384 KIPP Memphis - 381 Trousdale County - 380 Columbia Academy - 379.8** Dresden - 375 ** Private schools This should give those teams that are on the borderline of the 1A/2A cut off an idea of where you may stand after they do some realignment.

Edit: That puts the school # at 34 if you include Enrollment up to 325 students. 29 if you go 299 and under.

PiRaTe._.MiKe Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Lower the enrollment means also less teams in the playoffs for that classification. If the T$$AA can do it and still make money they will. It may result in ticket prices increasing to make up he difference, or school membership fees increasing. Is that what we want for some of the smaller schools that can barely afford equipment? Maybe they could stagger the ticket prices based on classification. I'm not for my theory, but I just don't see the T$$AA risking the loss of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fallguy17 Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 With so many schools moving to DII in 2017, hopefully they will expand the classes on that side, to compensate. Rather than water down the DI playoffs with teams that go 2 and 8 for the season. They could increase ticket prices by $1 per round, as well. Fans of the more successful programs will pay that extra dollar. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
