They are owned by the tax payers Schools choose to be a part of the TSSAA. They can choose not to be a member, and not play in the TSSAA playoffs, and broadcast however they choose.

Don’t feel it would hold up in court to try to stop a parent from streaming their kids game so grandma can see it! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrylawless3 Posted November 16, 2023 Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 Technically the regulations cover any “school or media entity” so they could theoretically take action against anybody. Not sure what TSSAA would do in the smaller divisions, but I could see them making a bigger deal out of it the larger classes or Division 2. There’s a representative out of Giles/Lawrence County who has tried to bring legislation to this. The most preposterous part to me is the $250 fee for a 24-hour tape delay broadcast. All the fees paid by us go to the gate for distribution. I wonder if the same is done for NFHS broadcasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s called a contract. Grandma could stream it on NFHS. Edited November 16, 2023 by 3rdandLong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I will also add that this is exactly why we, and a I’m sure all of the others, do it. Not a dime of sponsorship money goes in our pockets, though sometimes I wish it would. It all goes back into the student athletes and teams. We have countless players’ and coaches’ parents, grandparent, siblings, extended families, alums and more watch every week from across the country. It’s all about giving a stage and platform for the players and schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each member school pays a fee to "join" the TSSAA...along with that comes the small print portion of the "agreement", that contains the abide by the rules, bylaws, blah, blah, blah...you get the point.

I like to ask the hard questions I guess LOL I've wondered that myself. I think they would go after the home team, since the broadcast money is supposed to be turned in by them along with the gate money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You choose to be part of their organization, and doing so you agree to their rules. Not going to win an argument going against something you agreed too to begin with.

SCHSAllHail Posted November 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 Unless something drastic changes, looks like the weather will be a big factor in this one. Hurts our passing attack but figure it will also neutralize some of ER’s speed advantage. Points will come at a premium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only game I’ve saw then play was the first meeting against ER, so not really a good sample size to gage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
