The Financial Ramifications

Several interesting points in this article

*Not holding state championship events in spring sports this year could cost the University Interscholastic League about a quarter of a million dollars.

*For the fiscal year of 2017-18 — which is the most recent report available online — the UIL had a net revenue of $1.62 million for football. That was after paying all expenses, including $425,106 to play the state championship games at the Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium in Arlington and $551,316 in overage that was distributed among schools that participated in the title games.

*UIL paid $535,939 for NRG Stadium in Houston to host the state championships in 2015.

*Because of what it has saved up, the UIL has not had to cut back on staffing to offset the potential loss in revenue. Some colleges have announced that they will cut certain sports to save money, but the UIL has no plans to do likewise.

I can’t imagine us not being back to a relative normal by July.  I suspect the suicide rate and alcohol poisoning will outnumber Coronavirus deaths by then.  Jmo.

Hagar, I’m with you. I can’t imagine it either, but then again, I would never have imagined the insanity that has gone on (and continues to go in) thus far. I think too many people get off on this insanity. This is the #Metoo of the Health community. I just want it to stop.

    • That should tell everyone something pretty clearly. Does anyone really think BH is recruiting elementary kids, to get them to transfer in Jr. high? Seriously? Here is the "dirty little secret" about BH: Most people move to the district for a quality living environment to raise their young family, and benefit from the outstanding acedemics at BH. Even If all athlectics suddenly disappeared from BH, people would still want their kids in the district. If thats not enough to convince anyone, and BH really was determined to recruit, first step would be to have open enrollemnt. It is closed.        Yes, I get it, no one ever wants to give BH the benefit of the doubt on anything. Some of the accusations are beyond ridiculous though. This paranoia the BH critics are afflicted with is not just sad, its flat out laughable.     
    • Opting is always an option. Are they considering any BC assistants? Highly qualified after that season they put up. 
    • Be that as it may, only time will tell. Hide and watch. Don’t be surprised if the next HC hire uses his own recipe. That happens more than not historically. I am not arguing the point that Hooks & CT had a winning combination that could’ve been carried over. I’m saying that finding someone to do that is not going to be as easy as one might think. Tell me again why Saban’s replacement, who even has Saban’s assistance if he wants it, just lost another game to an unranked team and has taken the Tide out of playoff contention? Why wouldn’t he just follow the success of possibly the greatest college football coach ever lived? 
    • We've acknowledged having 2 HOF coaches hasn't been like most other schools. So why everyone jumps to the conclusion it wouldn't work here is beyond my comprehension. I see it carry over with these other hires. Gilmer, Aledo, North Shore, Austin Westlake. Next man up that continues the system in place has instant success. Matter fact there was 2 rookie HC that won the state championship the same year we handed over the keys. Same book. Same recipe. Better ingredients.
