I have not heard any rumors regarding Lipscomb trying to retract their request to move up to play in D2AAA but I can see how that would take place.  Is your statement true or just another rumor as several are floating around?  Strictly a hunch but you will see a mass exodus of Lipscomb football players at the end of the school year and a few may not return after the Christmas Holidays. With TD gone it will not be business as usual and is not what those athletes and their families  agreed to before enrolling.

Wouldn't it be too late to retract anyway? The TSSAA has already put together region/district schedules

Yes. They are stuck for 2 years.

And will get smacked around for the next 2 years. Dilfer did all of this to that school. From the way he acted, the way he treated other TN HS programs, his absurd ego and now moving them up to DII-AAA and heading out the door leaving them high and dry. The ones that will be hurt the most by all of this will be the LA lifers that will stay and play. All those 3 and 4 stars flying out the back door will suffer none of the consequences that are coming the next 2 years.

Have any players actually left the program yet or is all this just speculation?

Pure speculation, on my part. But, my guess is it’s coming. Others have speculated the same.

I guess I'm just not understanding. I would think and maybe thinking is the problem. Witten comes in from Texas and according to media he is seen on campus. Was the money the final hammer or admin or both? Does anyone really know? It seems something intriguing $ wise had to be thrown out there for him to show up.

You may be disappointed…sophomore and junior class is absolutely loaded.  They live in Nashville.  Where would they go and why?

They could go to IMG, Baylor or McCallie and be eligible immediately

Sure they could but why would they?

and I’m not saying LA is a better program at all…but what would they have to gain?

IMO, if I were a junior I would return to Lipscomb and finish my career.  If I am currently a freshmen or sophomore I would entertain what other schools had to say until I know who the next head coach will be.  With TD gone to UAB you currently don’t have anyone on the Lipscomb staff that has the clout or connections to pick the phone up and help a player get recruited to the various schools.  The longer that this search continues without a head coach being named the more uncertainty and rumors will be circulating. If Mrs. Candice McQueen has decided to go Old School Lipscomb and hire a current member of the CofC this search could linger on into the Spring.  I personally feel that Lipscomb having a great team has been good for Tennessee football but for whatever reason there is something holding up the process of hiring a new football coach.
