BOARD OF CONTROL AGENDA
Murfreesboro, Tennessee
November 12-13, 2008
1. Roll Call
2. Approval of Minutes of Last Meeting
3. Drawing for State Wrestling Tournament
4. 2008 Regional Meetings
5. Review of 2008 Fall Sports Tournaments
6. Proposal from District 14AAA and Bolton High School in Regard to Football Playoffs
The basic proposal is that no team that has not won five games could qualify for the football playoffs.
7. Proposal for Change in Subdivisions in Football Playoffs from Henry County High School and Morristown East High School
In the new classification format we have placed all schools in Division I in Class A, AA, and AAA. After schools moved up, we then subdivided each classification so that A has 1A and 2A in football; AA has 3A and 4A in football; and AAA has 5A and 6A in football.
The proposal from Henry County and Morristown East is that subdividing should take place at the first point when schools are placed in the three classes. Schools would then still have the opportunity to move up but the moving up would not cause a school to be bumped from 5A to 6A or from 3A to 4A.
