The Funding Freeze: Rock Bottom's Fight for Football | Students First Always? Right?

Fed up with budget excuses while student athletes suffer? You're not alone. DJ ESG unleashes a no-holds-barred critique of the Council Rock School District's priorities that will have you nodding in agreement or squirming uncomfortably—depending on which side of the budget line you stand.
The district just hit homeowners with a 2.64% tax increase while football programs operate with equipment that belongs in a museum. Players are suiting up in padding that resembles "a couch from the 70s" and practicing on fields that look like they've "hosted a monster truck rally." Meanwhile, the administrative buildings are slated for millions in renovations with not a single mention of athletic facilities in the capital improvement plans.
This isn't just about win-loss records—though Council Rock North's 1-9 season certainly underscores the problem. It's about what message we're sending to young athletes who show up every day, grinding it out with subpar resources. As DJ ESG powerfully puts it, "Football builds community. It teaches discipline, drive and how to show up when you're dead, tired and doubted." Yet the district seems content to let these programs run "on fumes and fundraisers."
Remember standouts like Brandon McIlvain and Justin Pugh? The district could be developing more exceptional talent with proper investment in coaches, equipment, and facilities. Listen to this raw, unfiltered call for educational leaders to put their money where their values should be. Because as DJ ESG reminds us, "You can't win on game day if the game plan is written in excuses."
