This is what you get when you cut educational funding (or redirect funds to the football team :/)

Depends on where you live, I guess.  In my town, when the football team was doing great, they brought all kinds of money to the school and the community.  Now that the team sucks, they've had to cut back a lot of things.  Yeah, people like football but there's a reason schools put so much money behind it.  A winning team is like money in the bank.

And this is coming from a guy that doesn't even like football.

It all depends on the size of your market, i guess. I'm not sure why i used football, because in my school's case it was an obnoxiously large, new baseball field that made me think their priorities were out of whack, especially when basketball was the winning program at my high school.
