Its hitting our school districts hard down here. The districts are putting a mandated mileage on the distance you have to be from the school to be able to ride. Also, the schools are starting to cram games into Saturdays. This means they aren't having a Freshman football game on Monday night, the Jr Varsity on Tuesday, and the Varisty on Friday. They are having all the games on a Saturday, for schools that are far away. The baseball and softball teams are riding the same buses now, the games are scheduled on the same day, when playing at another school.

I know of one volleyball coach that told her players that as long as the team in in the running for the regionals, she is going to forfeit a few of the games that are an hour away. No since in spending all of that money on gas on a game that doesn't mean anything.

I didn't take any contracts for football officialing due to IHSA not upping the game checks. No since spending $25 in gas to make $45.
