Much ado has been made about the frivolous spending for athletic centers and football stadiums, not just in Texas, but nationwide.
One would think that EDUCATION would be the biggest expense by a large margin. I'm all for having nice facilities as long as it isn't extravagant.
My county school system didn't have stadiums at every school. We had Memorial Stadium on 11th Street (Now LPGA Drive) that hosted all of our games. If you were the late game on a rainy night, footing was going to suck and someone was going to get hurt. Period.
I was shocked when I moved to Ohio and saw that every school has its own stadium. UA High School just replaced their field with field turf a couple fo years ago. Largely by donation of a players dad. Not surprisingly, the kid was named starting QB for the season.
