@SnerdlyP It’s a “cheaper” or “deluded” trophy. Leaving a debate of who was truly the best team in the state. Cheesy take, just as cheesy as crowning double the champs
1. Ohio’s about to vote on splitting public and private state tournaments. Before anyone signs that petition, look at the actual 50 years of data. Private schools’ share of OHSAA football titles is the lowest it’s been since the playoffs started in 1972.
@CEJohnsonEsq Small correction — D-I is 5 of 9, not 6.
And the premise is already stale. Last two D-I titles: Olentangy Liberty, Olentangy Orange. Last three D-II: Massillon, Avon, Avon.
Meanwhile D-IV through D-VII since 2017: non-publics are 0 for 36.

Off the grid yesterday, so I'll just chime in to say this
The current system we have is not perfect by any means, but there's been progress
All this would do is create a whole new set of problems and, frankly, put us in the "participation trophy" zip code

6. A split ends Competitive Balance after 2027-28, cuts the field for every trophy roughly in half, and cheapens the hardware on both sides — to solve a Division I problem that is already shrinking on its own. Ohio rejected this in 1978 and in 1993. Reject it again.
5. The winningest Ohio football program of the last 50 years is Marion Local — public district, Mercer County, 15 titles. Coldwater, Kirtland, Versailles, St. Henry: all public. Nobody is being locked out.
@OSUBall4@SportsBoyTony And what’s left isn’t a system problem, it’s a handful of programs in two cities. D-I through D-III, private schools win plenty. D-IV through D-VII since 2013: 5 of 52 titles. Division VI: zero private champions in 13 years. [img 3]
