It's illegal in my state for parents to “pay-to-play”. They can make a donation to the booster club, but the booster club can spend the money any way they want.

When I played sports a while back, things seemed a lot more fair. Now the school favors employees kids whether they have a talent or not, cut kids that have real potential, and look the other way when rules are broken. I have a daughter that plays sports but it's tough to even watch the games sometimes, knowing all the “behind the scenes” stuff.

But my poor niece was really, I believe, on the road to a scholarship. Her family doesn't make that much money, I hate that her school is ruining it for her.
