Yes Boog but how will the grand experiment work long term? Will the kids and especially the parents of those kids continue to support and attend the school if the kids are replaced by recruits in high school? You pay for little junior for 8-9 years and he is ready to hit the field, court, whatever but never sees any PT due to the new 6-10 forward or 4.3 RB-I think it will work for some but not all

tru dat Saw...tru dat

Lausanne will not be going all boys. That’s a stretch to put out there even for you Boog. I would guess that Lausanne has looked at the likes of Ensworth, BA, MUS, etc. Schools that have been successful in athletics while keeping their academic standard. Not sure why doing it in AA  makes it wrong while AAA means it’s ok.

Lausanne was all girls for most of its history.  Went coed about 15 years ago when Marc Gasol of Memphis Grizzlies and Johnny West son of Jerry West GM of Grizzlies made their first boys athletic team a power in BBall.  Football was added only recently (2012 ?)  Agree They NEVER would become all boys

I'd say you just hit on a huge issue that will keep some privates from getting to the elite competitive level. It will definitely test the character of many a parent and student in the years to come, especially at some of our newer, smaller private schools forced to compete with larger, more established institutions.

The real questions might be: Why does your institution exist? Why are parents looking at your school as a place to send their children? What are the overarching goals of the athletic programs? Do those goals ultimately assist the institution to achieve that mission statement?

The next 3-5 years will be interesting to see where schools decide to focus their efforts.

Interesting point.

Nobody said it's wrong but I have said many times I don't like it- I have seen Luzi several times and over the last 3 years they have been loaded and I'm not just talking Juice Gray-now their current 2s and 3s while good are not at the same level as the last 3 years-if Luzi magically comes up with fantastic players next year and after then what I am describing will be happening to not only the kids who have been going there for years but possibly to the kids who just arrived a year or 2 ago

The difference between privates is huge! A BA is way different than a Silverdale despite having similar numbers. If you know anything about private ball you can’t just lump them all together. The differences are huge in philosophy and recruiting. Much more different than public’s. Some programs would be run straight into the ground if they were asked to play against the best teams in the state every week.

Two divisions would be nice, but student population isn’t the best way to sort each school. AA should be unlimited financial aid to athletes. A should be regulated based on the financial aid budget for athletes based on a percentage of tuition cost of aided athletes across all schools regardless of the range of tuition.

Having one Class for D2 makes no sense. Would be too many Maryville vs Harriman type games, which would be no good for all involved. 

I could see it being 2 Classes, but in a perfect world it would be based on Athletic department budgets (scholarships, coaches pay, etc.). Some smaller schools have a $10 million athletics facility & some play football on a pasture with no bleachers behind a church... 

i think that is why they had to do 3 classes... it isn’t perfect, but there are Ginormous discrepancies between the older more established schools & the ones that are new & smaller. 

I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! For all the grief the "whining publics" caught from the privates for  complaining about your advantages, the publics couldn't hold this discussion a light to see by. In three posts, y'all have covered philosophy, recruiting, student population, financial aid, tuition, number of classes, budgets, scholarships, facilities, and coaches pay! Somebody please mention having a multiplier and I just might laugh myself into a hernia.

Carry on...PLEASE!

    • 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.
