Legislator Seeks to Limit OHSAA Authority in Sports
Ohio Rep. Harry Corkwell proposes a bill to strip much of the Ohio High School Athletic Association policing power and return penalties for ineligible players to local boards. The state body would still be able to forfeit games, with probation for a second violation and a 30 day unpaid suspension power for responsible officials, while no court action is included.
