The Attorney General of the great state of Ohio Dave Yost joined Ken Carman and Anthony Lima to talk about why he is considering a lawsuit against the Big Ten if they don’t have a fall sports season this year. “The NFL is playing, the SEC is playing, high schools are playing," Yost said. "It doesn’t make sense that the students here in Ohio are the ones paying the price for these actions.”
When Anthony Lima pressed Yost about the overall college sports seasons around the country, the attorney general wouldn't comment but said that “obviously, I’m focused on the Big Ten because Ohio State is in the Big Ten. Do we need to be safe? Sure. Do we need to monitor the health of all the kids? Do we need rigorous medical supervision? Absolutely.”
AG Yost gave his thoughts on what provoked a possible lawsuit, if there is a possibility of filing a lawsuit against individual schools if they cancel Ohio State’s season because they don’t want to play and if he has the support of Governor DeWine and/or the University. “This is the lawyer in me saying to a client, Ohio State, you’ve got a legal claim here if you lose money and because of it.” Yost added, “if another school accesses the risk and says they don’t want to play, fine, opt out. But don’t be telling Ohio State that they can’t go out and play this fall.”
