Personal story: Ages ago I was in marching band in TX, so we had to visit multiple other schools to play against them.

Some of those stadiums, even 20ish years ago, were ridiculous. So much money that could have gone to much better programs, or even a publicly available stadium that aren't locked to a specific school district. I left band before graduating.

    The guy would even LOOK at him! This seemed like a "just following marching orders, take it up with someone else" kind of talk.

    The only reason I can think of that they tanked this was: 1. To have control over who is selected when they have full control and 2. They're financially compromised to make sure the war doesn't end.
