1. Sorry for the confusing grammar. In that sentence, the golf house is the location at which the gala for the football team is held. Not a resource for the school. (E.g., because the gold house is owned by a country club whose members are the parents of many of the football players.)
2. Band, sports teams, and other extra curricular are:
a) often not de facto optional (the poorest districts in the country will scrape together the money for a football team), and
b) actually serve an important social + educational function. There’s lots of data correlating long-term life outcomes with participation in after-school extra-curricular activities.
3. These districts also both directly and indirectly subsidize their educational offerings with charitable donations.
