DFW area high school fans are some of the most entitled brats in the state. You should see the back and forth on some of the message boards about having the state title games being rotated between DFW, Houston and San Antonio. The peeps in other parts of the state have no problem with it being rotated. But the DFW area peeps come in and say we have THE showcase stadium in the state, the kids want to play here, and besides we get more teams in our immediate area in the state title games so therefore in belongs here. Tell me how it's fair Aledo gets to travel only a few miles away year and year out right now or Highland Park and a Houston or San Antonio area team has to pack up and overnight to play them. Make those pretty boys and society girls from Highland Park travel south of Waco for once in their lives for crying out loud for something other than a trip to the beach. But the UIL listens to the demands and political pull of the DFW area superintendents and school boards over any other part of the state. It shows during realignment when they do stupid stuff like stick San Angelo in a DFW area district and they've done and attempted to the same crap down here.
San Angelo was a silly move moving them to the Dallas districts. They moved them back to the Odessa district this year. Abilene Cooper moved to the Ft. Worth district but that makes more sense than travelling to Lubbock and Amarillo for their old district games.
Tascosa got moved down to 5A this year so the district travel will just be limited to Lubbock a couple of games. That being said they still are playing all the 6A teams from the MIdland/Odessa/San Angelo Central non-district this year.

Looks like the high schools may slowly follow the college football lead.

Honestly I think they and a few other schools are jumping the gun on things like this. The Texas Coaches Association released a survey of Covid infections during the summer training before two a days started. Out of 314 school districts sent the survey with 244 reporting results to the survey , 278 athletes out 65,290 athletes tested positive with 4 of those cases being traced to camp. Only four need to be admitted to the hospital. Zero deaths and positive rate of .00425

The ban is only on Friday nights during the normal times. I think the UIL and school districts see the live broadcasts as a drain on their bottom lines along with discouraging fans from taking road trips to support their teams when they play on the road. And in some regards, it's accurate because you see this come playoff time when live broadcasts are allowed. But why they allow it then and not during the regular season seems to be a contradiction because the schools could really use that ticket revenue to off set the costs for using neutral sites during playoffs. Also, game day/night is a fund raising opportunity for other organizations and clubs to generate funds for their cause, so they will operate the concession stands, have separate specialty food booths, etc and that is lost chances at revenue if people stay at home. So there is a valid reason why this is policy during "normal" times. To some extent, it's the same we see in FCS football and D2 football thanks to streaming either being free or for a small fee for per game or a season pass.
The times they are a changin'.
