TSSAA does not put any restrictions on transfers at all.    Eligibility to compete in TSSAA sanctioned sports after the transfer is what is restricted.  These are not the same thing.

That's yet to be determined.  

The state legislature will have a big part in determining exactly how the one-time transfer rule is worded.  

And my opinion is that there won't be restrictions, given that the entire idea of the pending legislation is to allow parents to have choice in where their kids go to school.  The T$$AA putting additional restrictions on them would lead to lawsuits that the T$$AA couldn't win, and doesn't have the money to fight in court, anyway.  

so you went out of your way to type "T$$AA" instead of TSSAA, but you knew the whole time that they don't have money to defend their policies in court?  Sounds like your critiques are conflicted...

Been to a playoff football game lately as a paying spectator?   

Not conflicted at all.

It's not the cost. 

It's the fact that the T$$AA takes 50% of the gate off the top and leaves the participating schools in the hole after their own expenses.

I guess the only real question here is, " Do you think TSSAA serves a valuable service?"

I'd disagree.   You wouldn't even have feasible seasons or classes without a governing body.  It's easy to complain, but if it was a sports world without rules, things would be a whole lot worse.  

 

And don't tell me schools would govern themselves.  Some of them can't even govern their own programs.

Haw, they do their best.  I just wanted to type #### on a boar hog.

Obviously there has to be a bottom-line decision governing body.  

My issue is that governing organizations in surrounding states seem to be able to operate in an efficient manner taking far less than half of the playoff gates. And most of them even manage to have their state championship weekends in either major D1-A or even NFL venues.  

Seems to be some misplaced priorities in Hermitage.  Schools shouldn't have to struggle to pay expenses to play in playoff games.

I have heard grumblings that the old Defensive Coordinator, who left to go cross town to be the DC, has already applied or is thinking about applying to become the Head Coach at Bearden.
