Isolate him, and play ball. A Covid case, is going to ruin a whole game for everyone, because of one person.It may be a positive Covid case in the program is my best guess…

If so, the AD Dept knew what they were getting into and even admitted that they had a close eye on JR and wouldn’t put up with anything illegal, hence the self reported sanctions. If this means season is over because games will be forfeited + post season ban, I hate to see this for the kids to end this way but it is what it is and it’s something the school took a chance on and will likely get burned for. We will have to see who is rightI'm hearing a lot of different things on this, most credible is something may be announced tomorrow by OHSAA. If true and the OHSAA has something to say...
And if it does not go the way I am hearing don't shoot me on this one Viking fans. I have nothing but respect for what the school was/is on many levels, JR on the other hand is entirely different situation.
I'll never understand why the OHSAA's idea of reparative justice is to automatically assign all of a team's opponents a 'win,' thereby murdering their Level 2 points.I have heard for a person who knows, they are vacating their wins and will not be in the playoffs.
Probably will be vacated and will go as a no contest, you would thinkI'll never understand why the OHSAA's idea of reparative justice is to automatically assign all of a team's opponents a 'win,' thereby murdering their Level 2 points.
That ideally is what ought to happen (if the intention is to right a wrong.)Probably will be vacated and will go as a no contest, you would think
The only one it would really hurt is Walsh Jesuit, because they are the only school to beat VASJ and were riding a wave of L2s from that. All the schools who lost to VASJ would actually benefit because they went from 0 total points, to at least .5 in L1s.I'll never understand why the OHSAA's idea of reparative justice is to automatically assign all of a team's opponents a 'win,' thereby murdering their Level 2 points.
It’s sounding pretty accurate, apparently Rotsky made contact with one of Harvey’s football players not too long ago trying to get him to transfer. In that instance Rotsky won’t be around the school much longer, maybe his shortest coaching stint ever?I'm hearing a lot of different things on this, most credible is something may be announced tomorrow by OHSAA.

This is sad for the kids who were already there, especially somebody like Joey Webb and others who had been there from the beginning and now see their high school football career over just like that. Even the transfers, you have to feel somewhat bad for if they weren't directly involved in this and were cleared by the OHSAA.This is far worse than getting a few kids to transfer in from other districts is what I am hearing. VASJ needs to run from this immediately and hopefully they can get the program back to respectability soon. This is really really bad.
So they cheat and get to knock somebody out of the playoffs? No thanksLet the kids play that were there pre-Rotsky. All his recruits and he are banned from the playoffs. And he up for dismissal. Also they must be seeded 16.
When you write "they"cheat, who is they? Rotsky sounds like the cheater. Not the kids that were there before he arrived. They did nothing wrong. This way the non cheaters play, and yet there are still consequences: 1. coach is gone. 2. recruits are ineligible 3. school is fined. 4. They are seeded 16.So they cheat and get to knock somebody out of the playoffs? No thanks
I could see making them forfeit everything, but letting the kids who had been there (or seniors cleared by the OHSAA) play against Padua to give them a final game. (Rotsky obviously suspended and rule the team ineligible for the playoffs).So they cheat and get to knock somebody out of the playoffs? No thanks
What would be a lot more likely I think is they permit them to schedule someone not in the playoffs for week 11 and give their players one last gameI could see making them forfeit everything, but letting the kids who had been there (or seniors cleared by the OHSAA) play against Padua to give them a final game.

Maybe that was discussed and Padua declined as beating a now winless VASJ would be less beneficial than taking the lower divisor.
Their results exist because of broken rules, there's nothing more to it. You can't give them the 16 seed and take away the playoff berth from some team that is going to earn it this Friday legally simply because you feel bad for kids who got caught up in it. It's unfortunate but that's the way it has to beWhen you write "they"cheat, who is they? Rotsky sounds like the cheater. Not the kids that were there before he arrived. They did nothing wrong.

I really do see both sides to this. Either way, kids will pay for this. But whatever and however they do it, there needs to be a consequence for any rule breaking misconduct.What would be a lot more likely I think is they permit them to schedule someone not in the playoffs for week 11 and give their players one last game

I'm trying to be reasonable with this situation. Yes, Rotsky seemingly has got caught violating OHSAA rules (and whether actually proved or not has likely done so at every stop he has been at).You sell your soul to the devil, you go to hell sooner or later.
Could that person be someone associated with one of their opponents?I have heard for a person who knows, they are vacating their wins and will not be in the playoffs.
Wonder if Rotsky wore a mask to hide his identity on those recruiting trips?I need to wear that mask when I get close to the border.
I do not know the guy. I do have info that I have shared with others in private Yappi conversations. This is why there are no posts from me extolling his virtues or Rah Rah for the team. Excited for the school -YES, with plenty of wait and see during the season.Wonder if Rotsky wore a mask to hide his identity on those recruiting trips?
The karma is that it appears VASJ and Massillon both cheated.It's called karma there sweetie....and I haven't laughed this hard in a while. Enjoying every second of it.
Obviously Massillon Coach Moore houses P5 linemen in the basement, like Thayer Munford and Terrance Moore (formerly Rankl)Looks like there's a level lower than the basement. Lol.
