The Columbus Dispatch is reporting that the Ohio High School Athletic Association has again postponed its decision on the site for the 2012 through 2015 state championship football games.

The OHSAA is trying to decide between a proposal from Ohio Stadium at Ohio State and Canton/Massillon, which have hosted the games since 1998.  The Greater Columbus Sports Commission wants to have all six championship games in Columbus.

According to today's report, the OHSAA commissioner wants a decision made before August 1st.
