Roster spots are earned not bought. If a parent wants their kid on the team then let the kid get out there and earn it. Putting a kid on the team because the parents put up lights or bought anything period is a disgrace. You earn a jersey. You earn the right to be a part of a team. You dont buy it for your kids. Any program that did anything like this would be the last place I would want to be and the last place I would want my kid to be.
It amazes me to think that anyone would agree or even suggest that something as important as being a part of a team could be bought in any way. The pride is in knowing that you earned the right to wear your schools uniform. It was not given to you. You earned it straight up. Some suggest that this is the norm or happens in alot of places. Ive never been a part of anything like this. I never will be.
