Ok the school gives ZERO, nota, none, zelch except for the 25-45000 for salaries and field upkeep. The 50% gate covers EVERYTHING except what the football team is FORCED to do outside fundraisers for.
AGAIN, as I've said football can not even come close to paying for football with gate receipts.
If not for boosters, player fundraisers and schools biting the bullet high school football could not survive.

I don't know what school you're at, but every program that I am remotely close too could support their own program just off gate receipts.

Fact is, the only reason they aren't able to support themselves better, is bc they (along with basketball) have to give a good chunk of that money to the non revenue producing sports.
