I don't get it! I know I am of a simple mind but the math just doesn't add up. This is not college football.

Let's just say a HS football coach makes $80k/yr. (not including benefits which would run 25-35% of salary = approx. $100K/yr)

Attendence 2,000 a game, 6 homes, $6ea = $72,000

Thus the gate doesn't cover the head coach salary let alone the asst. staff, ref crew, etc.

No wonder those booster clubs are busy and active!

Thus, which sport cost a school district more: football or soccer????
