  Message Not Read  Ohio bills affecting college football
   Posted: 5/18/2025 2:15:31 PM 
The General Assembly has apparently solved all the major problems in Ohio (e.g., poverty, homelessness, gun violence, domestic violence, food insecurity, bankrupt schools, political corruption,etc.) and has turned its attention to the one remaining issue of greatest importance to Ohioans -- noon starting times for college football games. Rep. "Tex" Fisher of the Youngstown area has introduced a bill that would ban all Ohio colleges from starting home games before "mid-afternoon" which apparently is 3:30 pm. Noon starting times apparently don't let O$U fans get drunk enough outside the Shoe before they go inside and drink for three of four hours. Even though the ban apparently applies to all Ohio colleges, the one exception appears to be for the O$U-Michigan game. It's not mentioned in this article (https://sports.yahoo.com/college-football/article/ohio-ge... ) but I've heard that violators -- including schools, conferences and even broadcasters/cablecasters/streamers -- could be fined.

This comes on the heels of last year's bill (that went nowhere) that would have banned flag planting at football games. This latest bill will likely have the same fate, but it's just another example of how our elected representatives waste their time. Your hard-earned tax dollars at work.

We will get by.

That’s the article I read, it referred to all public schools. What a joke, these clowns (no party affiliation needed), have nothing better to do, like school funding, property taxes, etc., the list goes on. Amazing!
