That’s not true at all, all refunds were done electronically! To the card that purchased the tickets. Nothing like spreading false rumors to push an agenda.
Here is the exact quote from the OHSAA statement.

"TICKET SALES
Again, all previously purchased and complimentary tickets for the upcoming state tournaments are now void and new tickets will be sold per the instructions below, per sport, with specific details being sent to the member schools. Tickets purchased online via credit card will be refunded by Ticketmaster to the same credit card. Tickets purchased via check will be refunded in approximately four to five weeks. Tickets purchased with cash at the Ohio State University ticket office can be returned for a refund on-site."

Are they still going to let all the ADs, coaches, and other admin go who treat this as a vacation?

Nope State Tournaments will be just like these regional games. NO members of the Athletic Boards, the BOD, Principals or AD’s and coaches can attend unless they are apart of the 4 person guest limit of a participant. So so much for that conspiracy theory

ONLY of a part I paying team. And it’s 4 same as NCAA standards. So in 1 game you have 15 players, 8 cheerleaders, up to 7 coaches all get 4 guest. Super, Principal, AD get 4, trainer, physician manager 2 guest. That’s it!

The right decision was made across the board on all levels...Panic or not...there's too many unknowns to take the risk. Says an old man that is in the high risk age bracket. :( ...time will tell.
