TSSAA needs less Divisions

The nine classes in TASAA has diluted the level of competition in all regions regardless of size. There is not a region that has a top to bottom tough teams that are playoff worthy. 
class 1A is the most evident. 
with fewer classes you would have more schools to fill regions with. Region 1A wouldn’t be begging for someone to come to their district. 
Now that all the private schools are in their own playoff. Has really brought to light that public schools are far more adept at recruiting players to their school. Than the privates ever were. 
 

schools are reporting other schools over this but the TSSAA is unwilling to investigate. They have become afraid of lawsuits. 
 

I don’t see them changing anything!!!

Excellent question. I do think there needs to be some restructuring. Personally, I think it would benefit several very small schools if TSSAA would either work with or absorb the MTAC 8 man league. There are several teams out there with dangerously low numbers who would benefit greatly from 8 man. It is growing nationally with the overall decrease in participation. Just a thought

This is a very good idea. 8-man is growing nationwide and would be a good option for many of the 1A schools. 
man 8-man class then 5 different 11-man classes would make a ton of sense.

I don’t necessarily have a problem with decreasing the number of classes. However, I think it’s mostly old guys like us on the boards that want fewer classes. I don’t think you’d find any players that want fewer classes. I don’t think you’d find many coaches that want fewer classes.
You could say the same thing about basketball - coaches have been campaigning for a fourth class for several years

After looking over a few of the brackets I notice some teams made it into the playoffs with terrible records. In the 1A bracket theirs a few with just a 2-8 record and in the 3A bracket theirs a team with 1-9 record. Why should a team with a losing record be in the playoffs? I can see a 4-6 team making in due to a tough schedule but teams with a 2-8 and 1-9 should not be playing in the playoffs. 

your tryin to take 100K out of chillys pocket in that first round.....

.....T$$AA annual meetin cant party at the Gulf if you take that away

Greenback will be slated for Region 1 again. They won't be able to get the TSSAA to approve their appeal this time around. :popcorneater:

If that happens SP will have it made every year...you want have us to deal with.  I heard on countless occasions after the last time, that we'd probably move up to 2A before going to Region 1.

    • From my understanding, Jay Graham pretty much took over HC responsibilities in that game, so you can thank him. Cute Andy didn’t need help, though. Cute Andy could’ve beaten us without any assistant coaches.
    • Tax payer dollars are paid for certified teachers to "teach" and then coach. The primary job is to teach.  There are some district that ay awesome supplements and others that don't. Dyersburg and Dyer County are pretty close if I remember correctly. I would imagine that Football and basketball are above $10,000 now.  I've heard that Milan is $20,000 for boys basketball. I would imagine that football is more than that in Milan.  Collierville has camps that coaches get paid extra for. 3 camps a year, 100 kids a camp, $30,000 right there.  There are places like Memphis-Shelby County schools where the supplements are garbage even for the head coaches. I made less than $3,000 as the head assistant at Germantown in 2015 when we were 26-4 and one of the best teams in the Southeast. As a head middle school coach next year I will make between $4-5,000 at a municipal in Shelby County.  Coaches should be compensated for the jobs that are required but lets keep in mind that they are educators first.  It's pretty frustrating to other teachers that work their tale off teaching 6-7 classes a day to watch someone roam campus, not teach (or have very minimal responsibilities), and get paid the same (more with supplements) as a person who has the some years of experience or sometimes less. 
    • This will get coaches leaving the profession very quickly if this kid wins this case. This is absurd...
