TSSAA, Does Tennessee Athletics Deserve Better

[Devilsx5]

Called them 1a and 1a jr or 1a and peewee 1a

I see more of a issue with TSSAA taking 5 to 6 years to reclassify schools into the proper classifications. Schools should be made to classify by the current years enrollment numbers every year. In basketball there are schools in 1A that have more kids than some schools in 2A. How you gonna let someone in 1A with 530+ kids?

For decades it was 2 year classes, and that was before instant information transfer was so easy. Now the numbers are 5 years old by the end of the final year of a class period. This is especially important for brand new schools through no fault of their own, being able to play in a lower class for at least one year. See: Signal Mountain and their 2A football title.

Not saying that but there has to be a fair system for all involved. 1A schools tend to get the shaft when it comes to classification.

Im with you on the 350 number for 1A.

We need 4 classifications

A - 300 or less

AA - 301 to 600

AAA - 601 to 900

AAAA - 901+ If you can’t build a competitive team with 900+ kids in any sport you have bigger problems than enrollment numbers

Old Pirate a wondering what the legitimate reason is for more classifications in football and only 3 in baseball & basketball?

You spelled TSSAA wrong. This should answer your question..............T$$AA.

I think the cutoff for 1a should be 350, 2a 700, 3a 1050 and so on.

You would be bumping Alcoa back to 2A...........

I assume the option to play up would still be okay to most. I know I wouldn't be against it.

I agree....Alcoa should not be in 2A.

If the numbers bumped Alcoa to 2A then they could play up.
