HS team instructed to lose.
« on: April 07, 2017, 03:16:52 PM »
Wow.

Dunbar football players received instructions at halftime to lose the game intentionally so that the school would not need to report using an ineligible player and so that an additional Dayton Public School would qualify for the playoffs, according to the OHSAA.

Sanctions include a $10,000 fine issued to the Dayton Public School District, three years probation for all Dayton Public Schools, public reprimand and the requirement that DPS athletic administrators attend required meetings with the OHSAA compliance staff.

Are there no consequences for the coaches?

It will be interesting to see if Dayton has a Superintendent with a backbone.

Nothing seems able to really screw up a kid's game as effectively as Adults.

I would think the fine applies for playing the ineligible player, not winning with the ineligible player. Instructing your players to lose intentionally at that point is ridiculous.
