How much of the ticket sales does each school make at the State Championship games?

 

The answer is 0. None of the gate money OR the tickets that schools presale goes to the schools. I know there has been a lot of displeasure with the TSSAA from people on this board, but this is theft. How much longer do we let the TSSAA line their pockets instead of letting programs keep that money?

Pretty sure that’s right 

That’s incorrect. The TSSAA pays schools from the money that Cookeville gives them to host the games there. Each school is guaranteed something like $2700 and then 18 teams split an additional $50,000 based on what your team presales. There’s no percentage of your actual sale or gate money that goes to TSSAA. Meigs County presold nearly 1000 tickets. That’s $12,000. They won’t make half of that back. This is money that should be going back to programs, but the sheriff of Nottingham that is the TSSAA must be paid their dues.

What we were told also.

You get a percentage of the money set aside, not what you sell. The TSSAA sets aside $100,000 which sounds like a lot, but it’s only 8,300 tickets. That’s how the TSSAA guarantees themself to make more money, by keeping the money from ticket sales. You could theoretically presale $1,000,000 worth of tickets and make less than ten grand.

A monopoly is a firm who is the sole seller of its product, and where there are no close substitutes. An unregulated monopoly has market power and can influence prices.

 Sound familiar?

    • What you are saying is true about high school athletics being a privilege and not a right, but NO ONE ever knows what will happen if a case goes before a jury.  Again, I have been in a couple of jury rooms and it's always a little crazy.  That is why my prediction is you will see a settlement before the case goes to trial.
    • What rules does everyone not operate by?
    • So you want a have and have not split? Sound like the perfect ramp to elitism. Tell those rural kids that they'll never be able to compete with those urban kids. They're not good enough right? Or we could just do what travel baseball does and have tournaments every weekend and give kids big fake rings for winning a few games. The suburban public schools are typically the ones with more funds. Urban and rural schools have more in common in finances than they do with rural schools. I've taught and coached in all of it. The difference is attitude. But if you're jsut going to say you can't compete because you don't have the money then that's an excuse. Especially in basketball. The balls are the same size, the rims are the same height and size. The ball dribbles the same in some rural gym in mountains as it does in the FedEx forum. Charters come and go like a fart in the wind. They are no real threat to anyone. Magnets could be but rarely do they win either. It just hasn't been seen in Tennessee.  
    • That’s a good line. Wins would be Soddy, Howard, and Ooltewah. Maybe East Ham again or Knox Central. Tyner maybe but being that late in the year it’s hard to say. I don’t think we get by Red Bank this year.    Rhea could be anywhere from 2-8 to 6-4. 
    • I agree with the Farragut and Bradley claim. Those will both be wins. Bearden like you say is depending on when you get them in comparison to when the wheels fall off.  As far as West goes I’m 50-50. They have been able to reload so far so until they show me they haven’t I can’t count them out.
