High school football is arguably more popular in West Texas than in any other region of the country. During football season, small towns seem to shut down on Friday nights as local high school teams take to the field, and for the following week the results of the games are the talk of each town.

Taking into consideration that many of these towns are one hundred or more miles away from any medium-sized or large cities, what might be an economic explanation for the extreme popularity of high school football in these small West Texas towns?

A. Opportunity costs are relatively low.

B. Only a small share of household budgets are expended on the games.

C. Few entertainment substitutes are available.

D. All of the above are plausible.

E. A and B only.

    The answer is D. All of the above are plausible

    Explanation:

    A. Opportunity costs are relatively low is reasonable because as football game is taking place, most of the local people will go to the field to enjoy the field rather than spending their time at local shops/restaurants. Moreover, there are not many people from other towns visiting these facilities because of far distance.

    B. is reasonable because it is high school football not professional football so the expenses spent on watching the game is low.

    C. is is plausible because these towns are quite remote so watching their young neighbors/relatives playing may be one of the few entertainment choices available to them in weekend.

    => So, the answer is D.
