Will the State Tournament be moved in the near future?

In terms of Nationwide, the OHSAA has to work around the Blue Jackets in terms of timing the semifinals and finals. On the other hand, if wrestling was to be in Nationwide, that would be a multi-day stretch that the Blue Jackets would have to tell the NHL they could not have home games.

It would be the same situation with RMFH in terms of the Cavs and Monsters.

Nationwide is now also the home venue for the Columbus Fury (women’s volleyball) so that’d be one more thing to have to schedule around.

Getting the Blue Jackets and Fury to not have home games for a 4 day stretch wouldn't be too terrible. Its more can the OHSAA pay enough for Nationwide to not schedule a concert or something that weekend.

Anyone know what OHSAA pays OSU to have the tournament there?

Once the Browns build the dome in brookpark this will all be resolved. We can have 3 divisions of women. 3 divisions of men. Expand to 64 man bracket. 70k fans. We will combine this state tournament with a food truck rally in the leftover space.

Why does the season hav to be shortened? Girls bb is ending this weekend and boys next weekend.

The length of wrestling season is fine.

Because as a state, we continue to fall behind in freestyle and Greco. Ending the season that late severely limits any time for training the other styles. There’s no reason to finish so late other than Schott scheduling reasons
