I disagree. We get what we celebrate. The proof of that is in the compensation.

As much as I love football, and with all due respect...The mission of the school is to educate students, not create players for the NFL. I don't have problem with the coach stipend, but I do have a problem with the inequity, especially given the mission schools.

Re - the 'business case'.
a) how many professional athletes live in our school district, and pay local taxes ?
b) how many people work in this district that directly and indirectly benefit from the effects STEM education has on the local job market.

School district funded stipends is is a different funding source than revenues collected through other aspects of the football funding.

Re the 'business case - The case is there..
