Florida high schools to cut games as cost-saving measure
Associated Press
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — High school athletes across the state will be playing fewer games.
The Florida High School Athletic Association voted 9-6 Monday to cut the number of varsity games by 20 percent and all other play by 40 percent for the next two years to save money during the financial crisis.
The rules apply to all sports except for football.
Critics say the rules change will reduce opportunities for students and cost some schools money they gain by hosting games.
