Re: Barriers to Entry: Why schools DON'T join FIRST
Here's another Barrier - Regional Economics.

I was reminded of this when I heard on the radio today that 5 different local communities voted down 5 new school levies and 1 renewal levy in yesterday's special election.

That and the Youngstown, OH area was named one of the 10 "fastest-dying cities" by Forbes.com (I think elitist editors revel in making people feel worse by publishing such drivel).

Try starting up new teams in that climate. Fun times.
