flag Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt urged eliminating OSSAA, citing inequities in student-athlete eligibility under the state’s transfer policy.

flag In his final State of the State address, Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt called for eliminating the Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association (OSSAA), citing its role in blocking student-athletes from participating in sports despite following the state’s open transfer policy. flag He highlighted a case where four basketball players needed legal action to regain eligibility, arguing that such barriers unfairly favor wealthier families. flag Stitt criticized OSSAA as unelected and unaccountable, stressing that athletic participation should not depend on financial resources. flag The organization, which operates through member schools, expressed disappointment over the lack of consultation but offered to engage in dialogue. flag Interim State Superintendent Lindel Fields said he hadn’t yet considered the implications of OSSAA’s elimination but pledged to manage any new responsibilities effectively.
