Uh - wrong. From the 2013-14 TSSAA Handbook:

Tuition and Financial Aid
Section 16. If tuition is charged, it must be paid by parent, bona fide guardian or other family member. If a parent, guardian or other family member secures a loan for payment of tuition, it must remain an obligation of the parents, guardian or other family member to repay the principle and interest in full with no exceptions. Financial aid will be allowed under the following conditions:
1. Children of full-time faculty members may be given financial aid, but such students, if transfers, shall be ineligible for 12 months in any sport in which they have an athletic record for the previous or current year.
2. Financial aid may be awarded on the basis of need, but proof of such need must be filed in the TSSAA office on forms approved by the Executive Director. In order to determine the basis for need, all schools awarding financial aid shall use one of the following services in order to determine the basis for need: FACTS Grant and Aid Assessment (FACTS), Financial Aid for School Tuition (FAST), School and Student Scholastic Service for Financial Aid (SSS), Family Financial Needs Assessment (FFNA), Private School Aid Services, or Smart Tuition Aid. Schools must choose one of the companies for all student-athletes. A

2013-14 TSSAA Handbook
committee consisting of School Heads from Division II schools and one ex-officio, non-voting member from the Board of Control and Legislative Council will meet and make recommendations to the Board of Control on each student submitted. In addition, this committee will collect information from schools regarding financial aid statistics, grant procedures, and the overall financial aid program within the school. The Board of Control will then rule on all cases at the August meeting. The Board of Control shall have authority to reject the basis of need for students when in its opinion, or in the opinion of the school committee, the amount of need stated by the financial service cannot be justified.
3. Any loan program, grant program, educational foundation or similar program that is established and/or administered, in whole or in part, by a school or official of a school is considered financial aid.
Schools shall remove any student from athletic eligibility whose accounts with the school are 60 days overdue.
All records pertaining to financial aid or tuition assistance shall be open to TSSAA upon its request. Each school shall be responsible for securing necessary authorization to allow TSSAA to review or audit such records.
Please see FAQ’s on Page 41-58.
Recruiting Rule
Section 17. Athletic recruiting is prohibited. Athletic recruiting is the use of influence on a student or the parents or guardians of a student, by any person(s) directly or indirectly associated with the school, to secure or retain a student for athletic purposes. In the event that there is a violation of this rule, there shall be a penalty against the school, and the student(s) who was the subject of the violation shall be ineligible for a minimum of one year.
The penalty and any additional period of ineligibility beyond the one-year minimum will be determined by the Executive Director based on a consideration of the number of violations involved, the number of student-athletes involved, the nature of the violation(s), the individual(s) responsible for the violation(s), and the extent to which the violation may have been knowing, deliberate, or in reckless disregard of the provisions of this rule and the commentary that accompanies this rule.

Are you accusing Ensworth of violating these rules? I don't think you really want to go there.

Yeah along with about every major private school in the state like Baylor, Briarcrest, MUS, St. Georges etc. It happens all the time. They call them academic scholarships when in actuality they are for athletics. And the fact that you think no school ever "recruits" is absolutely ridiculous.

I don't know if you can't read or simply choose not to. An athlete at a D2 school cannot receive an "academic scholarship" under TSSAA rules either. No merit scholarships whatsoever allowed. The sole financial aid allowed is on the basis of need. Said need is determined not by the school, but by an independent company. Ensworth uses a company called School and Student Scholastic Service for Financial Aid for those purposes. It is not a local company.

I did not say that I think no school ever "recruits" - you simply made that up. However, if you say those those schools you listed are in fact "recruting, then you are literally accusing them of cheating. If you think they are, maybe you should tell bUTch so that he can stay away from that gang of cheaters. If not, I don't think you are helping our cause any by getting on a public message board and accusing them of cheating when you really don't know what you are taliking about. There is a lot of talent at the schools you listed - in case you haven't noticed, success attracts success.

Delerious.

Ensworth gives out scholarships and transportation to school to athletes that can't afford and don't have their own transportation. It's a fact, man. Get over it.

My sources: TSSAA Rulebook and personal knowledge.

Your sources: rank speculation and hatred/jealosy. Oh yeah, and your friend once had a friend who played against Ensworth.

Sounds good to me!!! Like I said before, you risk giving Vol Nation a bad name when you get on here and accuse one of the premier programs in the State of cheating. It's a fact, man. Get over it.

btw; "delerious" is actually spelled "delirious".

That was from your source....so the fact that are acknowledging that schools break one rule from the TSSAA rulebook but don't think they break the others and provide scholarships is a bit delusional. I had several friends change schools from public to private because the private school were offering them free tuition if they played for them....but you keep doing you man I don't really care either way just wanting to put forward what I know

Week, as in, not strong is spelled "weak." See, I can call you out on spelling, but it looks like you went back and edited it, because you're worried about your credibility.

Hatred/jealousy? For what? If I was gifted athletically to receive a scholarship to attend
a private school like Ensworth I would. And I also wouldn't have broke my parents checkbook to go their $25,000 a year for academics.

And if you read my post, which I doubt you could because it seems like you're illiterate, you would see I had personal friends that received scholarships to attend school there.

Also, I give VolNation a bad name because I come on here and say Ensworth cheats? Where did I say they cheat?

Now, you're trying to put words in my mouth, because you're lacking information.

Has kids that attend Ensworth. Corrects people's spelling. Quotes the rulebook, lawyer style. Roots for Vandy on the side. There's only one person in the world this could be.

Hello, Clay. Glad to have you here on the ole VolNation. How's the TV gig going? Tell EA I said hi.

Clay's probably a good guy, and I have no doubt that he was at one time a Tennessee fan, but I think he really took it hard when Coach Fulmer was fired and he's never really gotten over it. He hated Dooley. I think he probably likes and respects Jones, but won't get back on the wagon until UT is winning again. It's hard for me to watch him take shots at UT on Twitter.

I've never listened to him on radio, but I own his books and occasionally read Outkick the Coverage and they're both pretty funny.

I just hate watching Clay troll our fanbase for clicks. Its genius really, if he says something snarky, 100,000 UT fans go to his page to see what he said and comment about how much he sucks. they don't seem to realize the irony in that.

I've always gotten the sense that Clay really likes UT and wants them I succeed, but because he's an alum he can't really praise them or side with them in every case unless they're Bama good. Nobody would take him seriously and ed just he labeled a UT homer if he always sided with the vols.

Plus he's a Nashville resident, so pandering to an audience that supports Vandy is great for his wallet.

I'm not really a Clay Travis fan (I think he profits off of trolling A LOT of fanbases and often writes at a Deadspin level...it's hard to respect that too muh), but you've gotta love the way the guy trolls Bama fans more than anybody else. To me, that shows that he still has some orange in him deep down somewhere.

Bump. Keep and eye on this guy. This is Rico's brother (that signed with Georgia) and he is already bigger and possibly faster than Rico. He is also teammates with Daniel Bituli and may be visiting this weekend. He is a really good athlete that could play several positions. I would not be surprised if offers start rolling in for him.

Do you think he would be open though? Rico seemed to only really consider UGA and Bama.

haha thanks for pointing that out. I added Mareio's now.

Honestly I think he would be more open to Tennessee than Rico especially if Bituli commits. They are pretty close. From my understanding even though his mom loves Bama and now Georgia, they really like Coach Thig.

As long as there are no DeVinner connections with this kid. Which I find hard to believe if his brother knows him...
