Most if not all high school sports programs are struggling to achieve successful programs through many different fund raising activities. Two recent local media news reports cover related topics.

A couple high schools have banned streaming video at their football games. Besides the possible loss of revenue they also indicate that opposing teams will be able to more easily scout them. This was even with the firm sharing in the revenue. Many of the nearby teams don't seem to share in the boycott. A local Norfolk, NE media outlet started covering three local football teams that play on the same city owned field which was recently renovated with a synthetic turf play surface. They hope to carry winter sports programs as well from the local area high school gym/sports facilities.
