Don’t get me wrong... I agree that games should be attended in person if you can.

That said, i live 2 hours from where I went to high school and it’s not practical for me to drive down there but once in a while. I’m lucky if I make a single game per year. Instead I go and watch some local games closer to home if there’s a good one. If I had a pay to watch option, I may put it up on the big screen and watch West Columbia’s game instead.

Or hell, if there’s a great game going on in west tx or north Texas I might pay to watch that as well. It’s feasible that you fill up the stands and collect revenue from TV broadcast as well for people who would’ve otherwise simply missed out
