Ohio State players needed to sign a form acknowledging they were putting themselves at risk of catching the COVID-19 coronavirus when they returned for voluntary workouts this month.
The Columbus Dispatch obtained the waiver the school had players sign through a Freedom of Information Act request. Players 18 and over signed the waiver themselves and any incoming players who are under the age of 18 needed a guardian to sign the waiver.
The two-page document, obtained by The Dispatch through a public records request, outlines the health risks involved with workouts and other athletic activities, and calls for the athletes to follow strict health and safety protocols implemented by the school.
