And the Ohsaa caves again! I wonder what the cost of this lawsuit was for both sides? We always hear that Catholic schools are struggling financially, must not be all if Roger Bacon can spend money on a sports related lawsuit!

IMO, this boiled down to financial, more than equitable outcome. If private schools cannot get their advantages back, they start losing games, and deep playoff runs, which leads to tuition loss due to kids choosing other schools.

Maybe I'm not thinking deeply enough, or didn't pay nearly enough attention to competitive balance for private schools. This 12.5 mile radius seems fair to me. For instance, a school like fisher catholic or bishop rosecrans gets a lot of it's students from outside that 12.5 area. So they'll still get hit with competitive balance numbers. However, if they were having numbers inflated by kids living in say lancaster or zanesville, that doesn't seem right.

What am I missing?? As I'm assuming I am missing something here.

12.5 radius is quite large compared to the ovc schools. I think 10 is more appropriate.

I can understand the emotions behind the competitive balance but you can never satisfy all parties. You cannot legislate fairness.

St Rose of New Lexington and Holy Trinity in Somerset are past the 12.5 mile radius for us, so this new provision is meaningless for FC (oh well, we’ve never been remotely close to being moved up a division due to CBP adjustments and we never will.)

Unless I misread the article, only the schools can be in the radius for the students to not be tiered.

Yeah I'm not sure I really see the difference.


I get it for some places though. Like in dayton you have CJ, Caroll, and Alter really close to each other. So maybe in their case they are all getting kids from outside a small radius because there are so many private schools so close together. Idk..

12.5 is a joke and insult to anyone with any intelligent. Make it 25-30 miles so the playing field is equal across the state. Not everyone lives in and around the city !!!
