I would imagine this is a bigger issue in some places versus others. Locally, I voted against having the local high school start up a football program specifically because of the cost per student. It was FAR more expensive to outfit a football team compared to our other existing sports (soccer, baseball, basketball, etc). The election ended up passing the resolution and the local high school got varsity football. Checking the net, I see we've had 6 losing seasons, one .500 season and two of those losing seasons were 0-11.

Now why aren't the Republicans complaining about this waste of taxpayer money?
