Meanwhile, i've got to think detaching high school athletics would only cost the schools money.

At the moment schools have a huge financial incentive to focus on sports, and particularly sports that make money. Few children can actually make it in sports careers, but maths, English and science are essential for all skilled careers and this is what schools should be focusing on. Organised sports discourage general fitness as anyone who isn't good at it is ignored.

Right... the schools focus on sports... that make money. The school makes money. That money is spent on general education.
Just like College i'd think... whose sports programs enhance the general education. Or Football does anyway.
Only issue i could imagine is that there might not be high school sports that make money.

Well when you spend $60 million dollars to build a high school stadium it might be pretty hard to make that money back...

The voters voted for the bonds though.

I'd put that in the same area as "booster money."
It's money that just wouldn't show up in the schools anyway... meanwhile any concessions and cool stuff they sell usually ends up in the schools general fund.
