Football and basketball teams bring in $$ to the schools, and help support the other less "popular" sports.
Kids are fat and lazy enough as it is, taking away more physical activites won't help the matter!
I agree with Dude, WAY TOO MANY over paid administrators and other paper pushers.
Don't take away music, art or gym either, which a lot of schools with $$ issues are doing too.
I agree with Dude and EZ. I'd say a good 1/4 or more of kids in HS carry a 'C' or better just to play on a sport or participate in other EC activities. Without those, many non-social kids wouldn't bother showing up.
Ooh, I hadn't even thought about that. The added incentive these programs give kids to pay attention to their studies is important.
