What does the future hold for the TSSAA?
The future of the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association (TSSAA) is in the air as legislators said they would research options for state involvement, a measure that recently failed in West Virginia.
In a Monday press conference, several state lawmakers — including Sen. Adam Lowe (R-Calhoun) and Rep. Scott Cepicky (R-Culleoka) — called for more transparency and accountability, arguing that parents and high school students should have greater representation within the organization. As such, state leaders announced they would research the possibility of either dissolving the body entirely or bringing it under state control over the summer.
