Re: OHSAA to Host Press Conference Thursday (Noon)
Just so it be known I took this off of yappi.com and it was posted by Yappi himself. It sums up the press conference.
Winter Sports - Still on indefinite postponement
Extending tournaments problematic
Cancelling Winter tournaments is on the table
Tentative schedule for Spring sports: still on but could change if DeWine extends closing of schools
Cancelling Spring sports is on the table
If cancellation is required, likely all Winter sports would cancel at the same time. Probably not cancel one Winter sport and play another.
No extra year of eligibility - this was a question brought up by one of the reporters questions.
Working on eligibility for resumption of school due to closures possibly making athletes ineligible
No authority over travel teams. Worried about kids moving to their travel teams.
If Spring sports do not happen, what will happen with grades eligibility? Might make every kid eligible.
Financial impact on OHSAA. Huge impact and working on how bad it is. Lose 1.4-1.5 million in revenues from Winter Sports out of 19 million overall budget. 80% of OHSAA revenue from ticket sales.
Thinking creatively to keep the possibility of a season alive.
Decision on Winter sports coming in the next 24-48 hours
Would they announce a poll champion or a year without champions? Not sure yet. Not likely to have multiple champs.
Spring sports still has room to get the season in even with more school time closed. Could move tournaments later in June. Site availability an issue.
Winter sports not likely to be played in mid May. Strongly doubts it.
OHSAA has not discussed the Fall yet but realize how rapidly this is moving
