Keeps boys out of trouble and gives them a reason to go to school and do well, including the ones whose parents can't afford to pay for sports. Though I do think they should replace football with rugby, save a lot of money on equipment.
Pretty important to give kids a chance to excel, now if you want to talk about wasting money take a look at special education. I am convinced that the education dollars that have been directed to spec ed have come out of the budgets for average and above, the effect in too many cases is to have bored average and above become behavior problems, fall behind and end up needing special services.
It is like the grade school teacher who punishes overactive boys by keeping them in at recess and makes them sit still because they can't sit still.
