Maybe this is the shot heard 'round the country that will ensure that a little more transparency comes out. I have no problem with them maintaining a working fund balance, but amassing a kings ransom of unpledged/unused funds isn't what TSSAA should be about, nor paying countless employees excessive wages. If your mission is to help our kids, then make it about the kids.

In the year 2000, Georgia Speaker of the House Tom Murphy, who for decades was the most powerful man in the state (the old running joke was “Why would you want to run for Governor and go to work for Tom Murphy?”) Murphy’s daughter in law was debate coach at Atlanta area Class A public school Bremen. Murphy was tired of her team finishing behind private schools in the region every year, and let it be known that the state would take control of the GHSA if something didn’t change. The GHSA blinked and changed Ga. from a 4 class to a 5 class state, that got the private schools out of Bremen’s region and into Class AA, and Speaker Murphy was satisfied and dropped the subject. Along the same lines, about 12 years later, the South Ga. public 1A schools were fed up with losing in the state playoffs, every year, in every sport to 1A Metro Atlanta private schools. They called a meeting with the intent of leaving the GHSA and forming their own association. Once again the GHSA blinked and created separate playoffs for public and private schools in Class 1A.

Riverdale must have been our Tom Murphy.  No one cared about the privates winning in A and AA.  Then they beat Riverdale and all heck broke loose.

Private schools should have been split decades before they actually did!
