tOSU's scheduled switch from quarters to semesters in 2012
The University Senate just voted in favor of changing tOSU's academic year from quarters to semesters. It still needs to be approved by the Board of Trustees (they meet in April to vote on it, and are expected to approve it); and it wouldn't take effect until the fall of 2012, but the change would impact the football program in a couple of ways. Incoming recruits would no longer be able to start in the Spring Quarter and join Spring Practice (they'd have to do that in January, as some already do).

Also, classes would start earlier in the fall, so there wouldn't be a couple home games before students are on campus; and the football players would go going to classes before their first game.

Edit - As jo4h pointed out, it would allow players to finish their academic year in time to join NFL camps; draftees on the quarter system aren't allowed to attend those until their school year is over.

Senate approves semester switch

The Ohio Strategic Plan for Higher Education, initiated by the Ohio General Assembly, asks Ohio universities on the quarter system to consider a common academic calendar across all universities in the state.

Nine of 13 higher education institutions in Ohio are on the semester system. Three of the four institutions still on the quarter system - Ohio University, Wright State University and the University of Cincinnati - have declared plans to convert to a semester calendar.

If the vote failed Thursday, OSU would have been the only university in Ohio not to approve the switch.
