D IV, V and V II - play all Saturday night games during tournament

[bfry]

Never personally cared for Saturday night hs games.

Just my own personnel opinion, but I like it as it gave me the chance to go watch Jackson-Jonathon Alder last night, and then go and watch Ironton-Amanda Clearcreek tonight.

I agree with this and so does the state, if they were all friday night it cuts down on revenue as a lot of ppl will take in 2 games.

Their has never been any 'hubbub' as you call it about Saturday playoff games. The OHSAA tried Friday only games and they lost some money.

[bfry]

Yeah, money was ultimately the deciding factor as always. Just never cared for playing or coaching in them.

I mean it’s really no comparison.

I’ll bet the statewide combined crowd is less than 1 OSU football game.

And the TV audience for HS (which no Saturday night game was broadcast live) is probably a couple thousand people total.


Meanwhile an OSU football game draws MILLIONs of eyeballs (even on Big Ten Network.... this is clickbait. And bad click bait at that.

Given that many schools play a significant portion of their regular season schedules on Saturday, it was never any big deal in the first place.
