On paper, most track athletes are done after districts. In reality, many of the track athletes who would have the measurable speed, power, agility, etc. that major DI college football programs want would still be competing in track and field at regionals with a considerable portion of those athletes having yet another week of track season remaining to compete in the state meet.The timeline that is laid out makes no sense. Have the spring practices during track regionals which is late May? This was already pointed out, that's when most schools are out which makes it the start of summer. In the summer schools are allowed 10 practices. So, now they're advocating for 17 practices in the summer? Spring ball in Ohio will never make sense.
When Ohio had spring football up until the mid-'50s, it lasted 3 weeks in early April. Those schools who participated started their spring sports after the conclusion of spring football. Some schools would play maybe 2 or 3 baseball games before they had to compete in their sectional tournament.
