Fair enough.. but none of that will matter soon.  Mark my words that within the next 5 years there will be an independent wrestling school in the state that will draw all the top kids if the rules aren’t changed soon. There will be a Hamilton Heights for wrestling or even maybe they will expand into wrestling. 

So what, let them do it, if that’s what they want to do, but just like with Hamilton Heights(and yes I know a lot about them) let’s not worry about the academic side of things and let’s focus on the sport. I mean it will really work out for the Kids that wrestle just like basketball it has a huge amount of opportunities to make millions going pro, lol. These sports factories are a joke, and it’s a bunch of parents living life through the kids that are going to make their kids pay. Mine would be fine not even playing a sport, I never cared if he got so involved with a sport to make that his life’s work(if he did fine, if not he can make a ton of money as an engineer) This coming from a guy that loves wrestling and spent years not even getting paid helping coach wrestling. Sports taught me a lot about myself, gave me a work ethic I still use today, but my academic focus and life after wrestling has made me who I am today, that I probably still had done without my love for wrestling. 
 

If they go to this stuff I wouldn’t care if they cut all sports in college to club level and moved on. It’s going to be about that way anyways when they have to start paying college athletes to play football and basketball, wrestling at the college level doesn’t really make any money so it might start dying a faster death compared to what it has since the days when UT and other SEC schools had real teams. Also AAU basketball is the dirtiest, slimiest POS there is, they could care less about the kids and only care about the money and influence they gain by those kids. I don’t know so much about some of the other sports going to that, but if they use the AAU basketball model it will prob be about the same.

    • Why would the tax payers be responsible for paying for only a coach? In recent years with all the theft from various programs in schools from different programs with booster clubs (not just sports) the State of TN has made alot of rules surrounding booster clubs and how they handle money.  I have two documents to review, 1 is 40 pages from the state comptroller and the other is 37 pages from my district, so I can consider starting a booster club for my middle school program. It has been too much trouble in the past for the other coaches.  There is no way there needs to be an adult in the school building for 7 hours a day with no responsibilities except coaching. 
    • The only thing that was said at half time of the 45-0 game was Coach Story, he said: "I know y'all have been out there a lot, but kick-off team, y'all need to get down there faster!" Then he and the other coaches proceeded to go into the coaches office and we all went nuts!  It was the only time I can ever remember coaches not saying anything at half time. Definitely a great memory!!!
    • Boyd could actually be a grade below what he is now, but his parents didn't see the need to "redshirt" him like the other city school down the road would have pushed for....
