Lot of schools across the state are awaiting his decision to see if he gives it the green light or holds up, especially after what the B1G, MAC, and the state of Michigan did. Great letter to editor there. Problem is these schools are opening for three weeks, waiting for their room and board bills to clear, then proceed to shut down after a few cases.

The issue of remote learning students participating in sports was a hot topic in N.J. Governor Murphy decided that remote learning students should be allowed to participate in sports. What has a lot of parents upset is the "hybrid" model some school districts are using fro their grammar schools. In person learning 2 days a week,8:30 -12:00. Virtual learning,3 days a week,8:30 - 12:00. That comes out to 5 half days every week. The parents feel that's not close to enough time. I liked the letter to Editor,except for the part about "you can play the game another day". For some kids,especially seniors,they may be losing their last chance to compete on the interscholastic level. So,for them,they don't have the chance to play another day. As an athlete I feel that sports are an integral part of the educational experience. So,as long as they can be undertaken safely,I feel schools should make every effort to offer sports,even during these trying times.

We'll see what the actual order says when it comes out in the next day or so. It's most likely going to be a limited stadium capacity, so then each player gets a certain number of tickets for them to decide who those close people are to them.

The enlisted personnel were pissed at being excluded. So when an exception was made for family members because the general's son was a private, Hawkeye suddenly became "related" to all the enlisted personnel in the camp. Yeah. This is gonna work. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

It applies to all levels of sports.

It's just really frustrating to watch. Like every governing body in Ohio is just tiptoeing around the inevitable, which is no fall sports.

It's just really frustrating to watch. Like every governing body in Ohio is just tiptoeing around the inevitable, which is no fall sports. Education is locally based by the Constitution, the State legislature made that clear in the spring and the governor is listening. Local control in a state the size of Ohio deserves local decisions in cases like this.

It applies to all levels of sports. That's permanent seated capacity. Some schools are allocating a certain number of tickets to seniors first for the team, band and cheerleaders for football. A 2000 seat stadium is only 300 spectators. The Licking County League has said no to visitors. The local policies are going to be a real hodge podge.

Spectators must have temperature checked before entering, must wear a mask and must social distance from other families. They are offering a live streaming service for those who can't attend in person. Follow Ohio Football recruiting on the BobcatAttack.com football recruiting database.
