The Board of Control is scheduled to convene on Monday, August 19, in Hermitage at the TSSAA office building. The meeting is set to commence at 9:00 a.m. The agenda for the meeting includes over 30 items covering a range of topics, such as financial overviews of different sports and the upcoming classification process.
One of the proposals up for reconsideration is the new limitation on the number of Hall of Champions games. Additionally, there will be a discussion on a proposal that would allow schools to host one additional contest in several sports, including baseball, softball, and girls’ flag football. Schools would contribute $100 towards the construction of a new state office building for this privilege.
