OHSAA rejects proposal to expand D-I football playoffs
A proposal to expand the state’s high school football playoff divisions to seven was rejected by the Ohio High School Athletic Association’s Board of Directors on Thursday, Jan. 15.
The proposal called for Division I teams to split based on boys enrollment, and limit D-I playoff qualifiers to four teams per region.
“The officers of the state coaches association were unanimously against this proposal and felt like any change would not have enhanced the current playoff system,” said Valley View head coach Jay Niswonger, president of the Ohio High School Football Coaches Association.
The OHSAA based its decision on survey results that the coaches association solicited. The proposal was in response to a perceived unfair advantage that large D-I schools have. D-I boys enrollment figures vary from 1,246 to 528.
“Our position is not to make a change if there is not a problem,” said Niswonger.
