Oakland hit by tssaa

If a student athlete lives with both parents, how the HE** can this bunch of idiots punish a family member / student for this. Why does the TSSAA not take a look at the private schools recruiting over the summer from public schools....happens all the time...ask CPA....The public schools in the state of Tennessee need to form their own organization. There are plenty of retired leaders / coaches that could govern better that this bunch. Let them make some rules for the private schools and enjoy the league no one cares about. Segregated tourney "held at at private college"

 

Put CPA, CAK, all these others in one league and let them cheat it out every year. I'm sick of the rural schools getting the blunt ends of this crap.

It's not like this doesn't happen elsewhere as well. A team in district 7A currently has a kid FROM CROSSVILLE playing...who moved in between freshman and soph year...and who has a brother still in Cumberland county schools.

 

Hmmmmm 🤔🤔🤔🤔

I don't believe TSSAA does that. I also don't think moving late in the summer qwas the issue. According to the article, their were family member(s) still living in the former residence not in Oakland zone.. Can't do that. I really don't believe they picked out Oakland to punish. Do you? And if so, why?

I do believe the T$$AA is inconsistent, and they pick and choose what to investigate and what to police. I was not even referring to just the Oakland issue, I just know of situations in THIS school year where players transferred during the summer, even one instance where a player went to teams camps with different teams before a transfer and no punishment. Moves, address changes, multiple residences, whatever. Happens from Memphis to Bristol and everywhere in between, but Oakland gets hit. I have said for years that T$$AA picks what they choose to police. A suspended Coach is allowed to coach via Skype in a tournament game, evidence provided, no punishment. A coach opens a gym during the summer for kids to have an open facility and he gets fined and sanctioned, ALL in the same county. So, forgive me for having very little trust for the "governing body".

I'm still unclear what actually happened here as it has not been addressed in this thread.

 

Article II, Section 13 states:

 

"If a student has been ruled eligible as a result of a change of residence, and the parents or guardian return to the former residence before the student has been enrolled in the new school for one complete school year, the student will be ineligible for twelve months from his/her last participation date."

 

The article says "an older family member still resided at the old residence."  Is this "older family member" a parent or guardian?  I so, then it's more than likely a violation (unless the parents divorced and the mom got custody).  If this was a non-custodial older sibling, aunt, uncle, extended family member, etc., then a parent or guardian did not return to the former residence and no violation occurred.

 

If there is another scenario which is not covered by these two possibilities I've addressed here, I've not thought of it.

 

The ruling is unclear about how this was a violation.  Just hate to hear about something like this from a school, program, and coach which be all accounts are doing things right and above table.

My understanding of the rule is if a player moves and switches schools, they must shut the power off basically at the old residence. No one can stay behind living there. Reason behind that is that a family could simply rent in another zone, never move, and be eligible. However, I think I heard this young lady had a sibling in the old zone that continued school there.

The thing about these types of rulings is that they will almost always negatively affect another team within the district when it comes to tournament play. Now, the team who was going to draw the last place team in the district that they probably had a definite shot of beating will now have to face this Oakland squad that will present a much tougher game.

that's ok 23 handicap. I know you are a hater and group all privates together. But we follow the rules no ifs ands or buts. We also have tougher academic policy for our players and it hurts us at times because kids are suspended because of school policy and not the soft Tssaa policy on grades. Example Trezevant. Who is your team by the way that causes you to be so butt hurt over privates any way. Or is it just that your knickers are to tight.

My team has 8 state championships Porky and 7 over the last 16 years so i'm not butt hurt a bit just stating facts, so check your pork chop cutter butter ball. :popcorneater:

all that success and yet you are worried about everyone else cheating. Must be that guilty conscience that has you deflecting on everyone else. Congrats on all those titles. We just hope and pray that we can get one some day. But of course if we did you would say we cheated. Oh well. Good luck in the years to come and keep policeing everyone on the ethics of fair competition. And again what is the name of the school you support. I would like to start following a champion school that does it the right way. 🥓ðŸŸðŸ©ðŸ¥žðŸ”😂😂😂😂😂

Look up the Jackson County Lady Blue Devils and there you'll find me. District 7A has ruled over Class A the past 20 years. There is more gold in this district than any other district in the state of Tn.

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
