athletics close formal influence kid money motivate negative option sports
What he did was the right thing for him. Unfortunately, it has a negative influence on a lot of other people. Going into professional sports and making the money he's made does not close the option for him to still get a formal education. It does close the option for a kid that does not make it. If I'm some kid from the inner-city who has used athletics to motivate myself and I miss, I have no more options.

building costs dip early hate limits money reserves spend
If we have costs that we have to spend money on, then we have to dip into our reserves. In the early '90s, our reserves dipped down really low, and we're just now building them back up again. I'd hate to see real restrictive levy limits when we need to spend money. That's why any construction project, or anything like that, would have to be put on hold.
