In the short term at least, yes. But considering American schools get most of their funding based on students’ academic performance – and low grades means they get defunded and have to cut things like schoolbuses, supplies, and education programs & quality – it’s a very short-sighted thing to do for schools which don’t have peak student performance (and most schools overpaying coaches and underpaying teachers don’t have good student performance). Not to imply that you were saying that this isn’t the case
football also makes a lot more money than anything else
At high school? They better not!
some of the high school stadiums in texas are as big as NFL stadiums. no lie.
There are many insane facilities for high school sports, but the largest HS stadium in Texas is Memorial Stadium in Mesquite, which seats 19.6k.
The smallest stadium in the NFL is Soldier Field in Chicago, which seats 61.5k.
i guess the picture i saw of one looked way bigger than it actually was. still nearly 20k people for a high school game is insane
