What schools benefit from open enrollment and does it leave room for cheating?

Rules apply,I in no way doubt your passion,I followed this very closely last year,I do get where you are coming from but I do ask can you be 100 percent sure you was given all facts ! I did give you a jab or two that I now regret,not that I don't enjoy banter but I respect the heck out of your passion ! I also do believe the TSSAA does their best to be honest and fair bit as in any governing body crap can happen !

Just a tough one to gage, never has it come up that a kid has to be serviced by a bus route to be eligible. In fact, some schools don’t run busses period. I guess all is right with the world now that they got a gold ball,just hate it for 26 seniors, But the TSSAA should have done a better job, no way should something slip through your radar twice! However, transfers happen, and complaining about it isn’t making them go away

How would the tssaa know he wasn’t on the bus route ?  It’s the schools responsibility to follow the rules. Someone else knew the rules and turned it in

I agree with you it is the school’s job to know all of the rules and do their best to follow them to the letter. If there is any question, TSSAA is open to clear up confusion. I can’t argue against the punishment even though I am a Fayetteville fan and didn’t like it. 

Here is where it gets tricky making bus route part of the requirement for boundary purposes. I will make up a scenario and use Peabody in the example. Let’s say a kid moves into the Peabody school zone. Let’s say he is less than a mile from the school. There is not a bus that runs by his house because no one on that road has a kid that needs to ride the bus. He doesn’t need the bus because he is 17 and has a car. So per the TSSAA, he is not in the Peabody school district because he must live in the Peabody school board’s defined zone AND a Peabody bus must go by his house, whether he needs it or not. 

Let’s look at another scenario and use Moore County as the example. Let’s say a kid moves from Tullahoma into a remote part of Moore County. No buses run down his road because he is the only house on it and his parents drive him to school. Per TSSAA, this kid is not in the Moore County district because even though he is living in an area defined by Moore County’s school board, there is not a bus running by his house. 

Also, let’s assume the TSSAA has looked into this kids address and paperwork twice and both times said he was eligible. Later another person at the TSSAA gets in charge due to the first approver being on medical leave and reverses the decision after games have been played and knocks your team out of the playoffs. This is essentially what happened to Fayetteville last year.

Bus routes are never a factor in enrollment in Lincoln county, in fact he would have been eligible as a student, bus routes only determine eligibility for transfers apparently. Why would the kid EVER be eligible if the bus route needed to go by his house? Either buses shouldn’t matter, or they should. I’m fine with either, would like some consistency.

Can you guys educate me on the transfer crap? So if a kid moves into a County and wants to play does that kid always have to sit a year? Another question is if a kid moves to a county and wants to play does that school have to have a bus route to pick that kid up or have a bus available for that kid if one is needed? We don’t have that privilege here in Waverly there is no big surrounding schools we can try to get players like a lot of y’all can.

If they move into the busing route of another school, they would likely have to sit out  a year unless they file a successful hardship application.  Signal Mountain had to address these issues once upon a time.  If they go to the school with the bus route, as long as residency is established, they don't have to sit out.

In Loudon County say a kid goes to Loudon Middle,Lenoir City Middle or North Middle then they decide to come to GB it's perfectly legal we are all in the same county.NOW if those kids go thru at least 3 days spring practice or play a year at either Loudon High or Lenoir city high and then decide to come to GB then they have to physically move to where a GB bus runs in front of their new home.Its pretty simple.

Yep that's a perfect and simple explanation.

    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through. 
    • McKenzie had no trouble with Huntingdon.  
    • Has BA landed any cornfed cowboys to block up front?
    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say ..
