I believe you are refering to Pontiac High School's head football coach. The player who was "recruited" was permanently banned from playing any sports for Pontiac High School.

If Ohio operates like Illinois, the by-laws are made by the member schools of the assocation. The State Association is only responsbible for enforcing the by-laws created by member schools. Schools in that area must have wanted to prevent players from benefiting monatarily from their athletic fame. It may have been harsh, but is also may have been a "by-the-book" penalty. I'm on the fence on this one.
