State Government Defeated in Attempt to Control State Association

[shawn.wortman]

In Tennessee we have two divisions, private and public. If a private school elects to participate in the public division a multiplier is used to assign them into a classification. The public schools have 5 classifications in football and 3 in all other sports and the private schools have 3 classifications in all sports.

Seems to be working fairly well with only some minor grumbling.

The private schools due to small numbers travel in excess of 200 miles for many games. While the public schools will travel no more than 50 or so for regional games.
