Lipscomb will have a whole new gauntlet of equal or near equal athletes, in some places better facilities and very quality coaches that won't as easily be out-schemed. I'm looking forward to it. Middle TN football will be hype again. im looking forward to it as well. I was not implying that they will walk all over everyone but i think they will be fine and still be in the top 2-3 teams in AAA. personally, I think they would win AAA this year. we will see about next... no idea what the reasoning was for CPA staying put.

O3t Posted November 17, 2022 Report Share Posted November 17, 2022 How does CPA benefit from playing up? Why are teams seen as cowards for playing in the classification they are supposed to? I never understand these arguments. If teams choose to play up because they think they can compete, great. It doesn't mean teams that do not move up should be looked down on or that their accomplishments do not matter. I think most of the time these arguments come from teams that are tired of losing to them and want them out of their division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They likely will have appeared in 5 straight championship games. They have been playing the best AAA and 5A/6A teams. They are hyping up their Sophomore and Junior class. What about that indicates they are a AA team? Very disappointing. They won't have any competition in AA. Perhaps that's what they are seeking. It is the same thing Lipscomb was seeking when the pink pony meeting that Booger talks about took place. That is when the Lipscomb delegate, as well as the Knox Webb fella, made sure they protected their then very vulnerable teams from AAA by getting the number set in an advantageous position. CPA is only following the precedent set by your own school and Meske. Know your history. Edited November 17, 2022 by MichaelMyers76 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbg Posted November 17, 2022 Report Share Posted November 17, 2022 (edited) With regards to Lipscomb Academy, they will be fine playing in D2AAA. Regardless of what level of football, a team must have a good QB and there is no one better than Trent Dilfer in developing a high school QB. At the present time there are only two schools that are capable of consistently challenging Lipscomb and that is Baylor and McCallie. With the current rules, both of those schools are able to go out and recruit any talent they want from across the country and because they are a boarding school the kids are eligible immediately. With that being said it’s my understanding the TSSAA member schools voted overwhelmingly to close that loophole next year and have the rule say if a someone has an established record, they must sit out one full season from the last date of participation, if they transfer to a boarding school. They even took it one step further and said that a team may not have more than one athlete that has transferred into the school and had to sit out one season on the roster. Now how this would work with kids from Canada and other countries around the world transferring to a boarding school, who knows because very few countries including Canada have high school athletics. It’s all club sports in most countries. Let’s see if and how the TSSAA Board of Control votes on this issue at their next meeting. IMO, they will try their best not to make a decision. As most everyone knows all politicians are best at talking/discussing/debating issues but not doing anything to make things better is their focus. Everyone must remember that past behavior of the TSSAA Board of Control is a great predictor of future behavior.

IMHO, it's not good for the kids on either team. I really have a lot of respect for CPA and they do not shy away from tough non-region games. I think playing in a tougher division would only make them better and I am confident they would be fine as well. that's all I was saying.

I think the issue some have is that Lipscomb avoided the competition for years and now that they have new found glory are quick to call out schools that are playing by the rule/class that LA helped to create. To use your example of BA and Ensworth, I don’t recall you and/or the LA crowd arguing for more teams to play up so there are more teams in the D2-AAA playoffs.

I understand your point and think it's valid. i'll lay off pointing fingers. sorry about that. selfishly, I want CPA to play up to keep the rivalry going. I also don't know what booger is saying half the time because all his code words. : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
