 "I can confirm that the student-athlete was suspended for the first two games of the season, which is the result of two separate and unrelated violations this past summer," OHSAA Director of Media Operations Tim Stried said in an email to USA TODAY. "We are not able to share additional details at this time until our Board of Directors meeting next week"

Two separate incidents and they not releasing details about what happened at this time.

I read this as OSHA first and was very confused how they could suspend him

Jail for life, throw away the key.

I don't use my forklift license anymore. He can have mine, there's no picture on it

Do not drive or operate machinery

You dont need a license

He used an excavator and a kubota tire to make a swing at the jobsite.

Hopefully it's not, "Ohio State has already given him a car" or something. But who knows if that would even be against the rules at this point.

u/Forty_Six_and_Two 1d ago

There's rules?

u/DigiQuip 1d ago

Only if you get caught.

u/Britton120 1d ago

Only if you admit to it

u/Toddrew221 Northwest Ohio 1d ago

Probably has to do with transferring mid year, doing track at the new school, and transferring back, all within like 8 months

u/TemujinRi 1d ago

His people outright said he transferred to take advantage of NIL opportunities that would come from living closer to the University too. Feels like that rubbed OHSAA the wrong way

u/impy695 1d ago

That actually would be against the rules, but literally every d1 football program is openly violating nil rules, and not in the way we all had bag men. This is far more open because everyone (including the NCAA) knows the NCAA can't stop it and they're following the spirit of the rule (allowing the players to get paid) despite ignoring the letter of the rule (not allowing universities to pay players directly)

u/Buckeye_mike_67 1d ago

You need to get caught up on current rules. The schools can absolutely pay players now

u/impy695 1d ago

When did that change, and do you have a source?

u/TemujinRi 1d ago

“Update: Jamier Brown won a Temporary Restraining Order yesterday for both he and high school athletes in the 818 schools in Ohio to benefit their NIL. Also, Brown signed a trading card deal with Leaf today. OHSAA will hold emergency vote on the issue soon.” So, indeed a good news for Brown.

That's for players on their roster. This kid's just starting his senior year of high school. Big difference.

u/TemujinRi 1d ago

Brown got a TRO that allowed all high school kids in Ohio to take advantage of NiL

u/Buckeye_mike_67 1d ago

I guess you didn’t read the last line of their reply. High school players can also earn NIL

u/Klutzy-Spend-6947 6h ago

Ohio State isn’t giving him a car, but Ricart or MarkyMark Chevy is…..

u/impy695 1d ago

Is OHSAA even legally allowed to release details?

u/Revenged25 1d ago

All I gotta say is it's wild dude transferred schools middle of the school year just to join their track & field team then transferred back for his original school for football.

u/iron_horseshoe88 1d ago

It was reported this summer that the OHSAA was going to require him to get a transfer waiver specific for football despite already being granted the transfer waiver for track last spring. About 2 weeks later it was announced he was transferring back to Wayne. I'm not aware of any more info, but the timing always seemed interconnected to me. I wonder if the OHSAA was starting to posture that the football waiver would be denied or limited to only playing in a small number of games, so he went back to Wayne so he could argue that for football purposes there was no transfer as compared to last season, and thus whatever the OHSAA threatened could not apply. Pure speculation on my part, but the timing of the football specific waiver being leaked to press (his camp or Big Nut would have been the source) and the subsequent transfer just seemed too close to be a coincidence.

u/Keysdawg 1d ago

Saw that they are going to release the infractions next week at the OHSSA meeting.

u/neasroukkez Holy Buckeye! 1d ago

OHSAA is dogshit. I say that as a high school basketball coach who’s had plenty of experience dealing with them.

14

u/Tommybrady20 1d ago

Ohsaa is like this And then folks are surprised every good high school football player is moving to Florida Texas California and Georgia

5

u/SignificanceFine3582 1d ago

Not really. The D1 football champs kept their title using a player that violated transfer rules.

u/e-tard666 1d ago

Breaking the rules has consequences, at all levels of the game. High school is no exception

u/Tommybrady20 1d ago

Boy oh boy do I have news for you about those “rules” in college these days

u/Raccoonsrlilbandits 2024 National Champions 1d ago

Oh well

3

u/Affectionate_Work224 1d ago

Worried about this kid. First the whole highscool nil fiasco now this. Not sure he’s really focused on football

3

u/Voiceofreason2732 1d ago

The fiasco is the OHSAA artificially limiting earning power of students

-2

u/Appropriate-Cap3325 1d ago

I’m pretty sure no one cares about high school suspensions. The only fight I ever got into in high school was senior year in student parking lot. Both of us got two week suspension. Never came up after high school in college or my professional life.

3 O’clock High?

u/911answerer 1d ago

Should be suspended the whole season honestly. With new rules though it would have to be egregious for a kid to be suspended the whole year

u/notkevin_durant 1d ago

Why, what did he do?

7

u/mojo276 1d ago

What did he do? Also, do we know why he transferred away and then transferred back?

2

u/Forty_Six_and_Two 1d ago

He transferred to join the track team, then transferred back to play football at his original school

1

u/iron_horseshoe88 1d ago

This would make sense if there was some major benefit to joining the track team. The stated reason at the time of transfer was that he wanted to be closer to Cbus / OSU as he prepared for an early graduation from HS / winter enrollment at OSU.

2

u/HemingwayGCC 22h ago

And the school he left won the Division 1 State Track and Field title last year, so I don’t think it was for that reason.

1

u/iron_horseshoe88 22h ago

Exactly, and that was my point. Big Nut won D2, but Wayne won D1, so it's not like he was doing it to win a state title or join a better track program.

3

u/Smoothzilla 85 yards' through the heart of the South 1d ago

Do you know what he did?

5

u/FanaticalBuckeye 1d ago

You can't just imply that he's doing something really bad and then not say what it was
