Across the country, some school districts are already facing tough choices on sports travel this fall, because of high gas prices.
In Franklin County, Ky., there's a new policy limiting road games to counties within a 50-mile radius on weeknights and a 75-mile radius on weekends.
Also in Kentucky, sports officials and referees who receive flat fees for staffing events are feeling the pinch, and some of them are deciding it's not longer affordable to hit the road anymore.
In Polk County, Fla., the school district cut two games from the maximum each team is allowed to play, to save money.
Meanwhile, in Tecumseh County, Okla., they're cutting bus routes but insisting that sports schedules will be played in their entirety. They have their priorities.
