MURFREESBORO (AP) — The Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association Board of Control has voted to keep the Spring Fling in Murfreesboro through the 2013-14 school year.
The current contract to have the events in Murfreesboro expires in 2012, but the board voted Wednesday in Murfreesboro to extend the contract two years.
The contract is worth $350,000 a year, according to The Daily News Journal.
In other TSSAA news, the profit at the state high school basketball tourneys has declined more than $68,000.
The TSSAA told its Board of Control that the TSSAA had a net income of $561,228 this year at the basketball title tilts, down from $629,629 a year ago.
According to The Daily News Journal, the biggest drop came in the Division I boys tourney, which had a decline of more than $50,000.
Bernard Childress, TSSAA executive director, said the tourney schedule may be changed next year.
