OSU football parents group urges schools to follow Buckeyes’ COVID-19 standards
COLUMBUS (WCMH) — A letter from an Ohio State University football parents group is encouraging the Big Ten conference to employ the same COVID-19 standards OSU is using.
The letter from the Football Parents Association at Ohio State (FPAOS), which is circulating on social media, praises the steps the Buckeyes have taken to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
“We believe Ohio State has set the standard for college athletics in regards to safety and testing protocols to ensure player, coach, and staff safety,” the letter states.
