Nike backing the decision. Likely AAU related. No surprise.

They need to only look in the mirror as to why their communities are in disarray & quit blaming others for their failures 

With their demands,  they're attempting to do what we're seeing all across the country

I wonder if it has anything to do with the whole Hardaway issue when he coached Memphis East and had players move in from his AAU teams.  They won the Basketball championship and TSSAA took it back right?  And East is still appealing it, or tried?

The same issue cropped up last season with Hardaway, U. of Memphis & the NCAA.

I read the article, they are saying TSSAA is racist lol. What a joke.

I’m so tired of that cop-out, blame the government , they are racist or bullies if they don’t bend and break so that I can succeed, smh

Let them go. Almost terrible at every sport except basketball. Whitehaven and a few other schools are the few that are a respectable opponent in football. Some of them schools have 0 respect for a teams facilities. They are mad because they can’t compete with that AAU mentality of where you need to play by their rules 

[MidTennFootball]

Worth noting that there is only one person on this committee with any experience in coaching. What they should have done was get the other big school districts on board. If Rutherford, Hamilton, Davidson, Knox and others followed suit, then you might have had something. By implying race was a factor, they killed any chance of doing this right

[GATNA]

Let them go. In three years they will be begging the TSSAA to let them back in because they have collapsed under the weight of all the corruption that will take place.

Let Memphis slide into the Mississippi River
