How would knowing 40 times aid an opponent.
It probably wouldn't help them much as they probably have a pretty good idea of each player's speed from the film anyway, but I think it's an excuse for not releasing it. It isn't just Ohio; I'm not aware of any school releasing 40 times, though I remember that info being released back in the 60's and 70's.
They used to release injury reports, too, and these days they don't issue that information as freely, either. I know Bill Snyder at Kansas State never gave any information out on anything because it might help opponents.
