Quote: Sorry Pitchparent, but that wouldn't work. The individual school districts have corporate sponsors (i.e. Pepsi). Almost all corporate sponsorships are for football purposes. Alot of schools do get sponsors for their soccer programs, but do this on there own. I don't think the school systems would go for this when they can make way more money working at the individual level. Why would a school like Byrnes do this? They already get their football team taken all over the country by Nike. There is probably clauses in some of the school districts contracts with those companies preventing it.
I would agree to part of this. Most corporate sponsorships athletic in nature are for football. Baseball and basketball from time to time. However, I don't think the sponsorships in general are football dominated. South Aiken had Adidas sponsor the basketball team for two years when Tony Kitchings was here. Pepsi is now the school sponsor and provided the athletic department as a whole with equipment as part of the deal.
