"OHSAA Set to Expand Tournaments and Division Options for Schools"

The OHSAA is considering allowing schools in Ohio to move up to Division I for postseason play, pending a vote this spring. This comes alongside the approval of executive director Doug Ute’s proposal to expand the number of divisions in many sports, with additional bylaw modifications including changes in transfer rules and contests with out-of-state schools. The move to more divisions, including basketball, is set for next season and is not up for a vote among member schools.

"OHSAA Approves Expansion of Postseason Tournament Divisions in Multiple Sports"

The Ohio High School Athletic Association's board of directors has unanimously approved a proposal to expand the number of divisions for high school sports, with boys and girls basketball, volleyball, soccer, baseball, and softball increasing from four to seven divisions beginning in the 2024-25 school year. The move aims to address the significant gap in Division I basketball and will use a new enrollment-based formula to determine the number of divisions for postseason play. While the expansion may lead to shorter postseasons and logistical adjustments, the OHSAA believes it will not diminish the prestige of winning a state championship and anticipates the new format to be revenue neutral.
