What you 2 guys should do, and I'm very serious, is bring this to the attention of your state Representatives and state Senators.

The reason I mention this is you are knowledgeable and you live a whole lot closer to the Legislative Plaza (at least Jay does) than most people.

Chances are if you go via TSSAA, it won't do much good. Instead, if someone who represents your district(s) is made aware of something that needs to be improved, they might act on it. 

Don't send your concerns by email or phone calls, send hard copy letters. These are more likely to receive responses. 

I'll be glad to help, if there is a way to contact me back channel. If you are interested, I will gladly contact my state Senator in order to find out which committee is responsible for funding and see if he can help.

I reside in Georgia, although I follow Tenn. high school sports. On 2 different occasions down here schools have turned to the General Assembly about unpopular GHSA decisions. Both times the GHSA changed course.

A small D2A football school would have zero chance to compete against an decent D2AA team. In D2, 3 classes definitely needed. To say we only need 2 classes for football is like saying D1 only needs 3 for football or 2 for basketball.

Well heck fire, using that logic, we should have like 300 classes right? Cause there's no way Clinch can compete with Hampton in basketball. Give everyone a state championship!!

Nope, never insinuated any such thing. The way it is is about right. 

You know, maybe I did come off alittle strong about that.

 

But, you following up an opinion that there should only be 2 Classifications in DII for 49 schools in football with a rebuttal of there should only be two classifications in DI for 322 schools in basketball is just absolutely preposterous.

Reducing either is preposterous.  By the way, I come from a state, Indiana, that had only one class in basketball and only 3 classes in football when I graduated way too many years ago. It worked pretty well and our publics and privates competed for the same titles, and still do, without Division splits or multipliers.

Kentucky is the same way, except they do 6 classes for football.  One for everything else.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
