Pay-to-Play Fees Residents Below Poverty Line DOWNSIDES OF PAY-TO-PLAY Pay-to-Play fees vary by state and school, but no matter the location or amount, they disproportionately affect underprivileged students. Scott Grant, a doctoral candidate at Findlay University, notes that students with annual household incomes below $60,000 are already one third less likely to participate in school-sponsored athletics before additional fees are introduced. Once fees are introduced, their effect becomes far more pronounced: BEFORE/AFTER P2P FEES (Athletic participation before/aſter fee introduction) 15 30 45 60 5% Decrease 19% Decrease BEFORE P2P AFTER P2P BEFORE P2P AFTER P2P 51% 46% 34% 15% HIGH-INCOME LOW-INCOME 50 100 150 200 1995 2005 2015 GROWTH OF P2P FEES 200 100 (Amongst representative survey of Ohio Schools) +14 +23 +32 +70 +54
