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.

    • 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.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
