Preps: Fla. schools to cut games as cost-saving measure
Associated Press
GAINESVILLE, Fla.— Florida high school athletes will be playing fewer games over the next couple of years as part of an effort to save money during the financial crisis.
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.
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.
