Re: Glitz and Glamor of HS Sports
High school sports have, in some cases, become bloated and unfocused on players, simply on seasons.
But I think we're kinda the pot calling the kettle black here- FIRST is a huge expenditure of money,(actually, our costs are about the same as our football team a year, all inclusive. We worked it out). We ultimately want what the football teams have- Television coverage, school support, money and kids pouring in.
The only thing we have going differently is that team and community are more or less always tied into the program, so it doesn't have the same propensities so as to end up the same as sports- kids sitting out etc.
I say let them have their tunnel. It was free. I wouldn't want to run through a giant blow up tunnel...but others do, so let them enjoy it.
