If you have to do all that let’s just drop school based sports and let clubs and businesses fund sports if they want to. There is nothing requiring a school to have sports. They aren’t the rallying point that they may have been with earlier generations so why bother? Just go back to preparing people for a vocation
and be done with it. And let the private sector fund sports as it sees any value to it. I don’t need to see a 5 star flop advertising a breakfast platter from Broadway Diner on their Twitter account. Just have them pay for their schooling like Jow Blow and save a nickel.
