  "account": "Christian Brothers and Memphis University School have decided to participate in an independent TSSAA football schedule for the 2027 and 2028 seasons, causing them to enter Division II-AAA and disqualify them from the playoffs. Both schools announced this decision jointly. Christian Brothers will focus on the character development of their student-athletes rather than their win-loss record. MUS Headmaster Pete Sanders emphasized that relational coaching is more impactful than transactional. The schools will create a 10-game schedule, including a bowl game, for the 2027-2029 seasons. Christian Brothers has not reached a state championship game since 2005, while MUS has won five state titles since 1985.",
