The average fan doesn’t realize that the price of officials and travel have increased over the years. Security is a cost that the average fan doesn’t account for at a football or basketball game. Please remember when you see an officer they’re making $50 hour on average. Also ADs have the task of funding many non revenue sports in each high school, and recently those sports have increased. I hate that the cost of hs games are rising but it will only continue to do so with rising costs of officials, travel, and security, not to mention supporting many non revenue sports. God Bless the ADs.
