First I would say, I too, think way too much emphasis is placed on sports in school, and not near enough on education. However, some sports in school actually do pay for themselves. Just go to a Friday night football game, get a head count and multiply the head count by the price of the ticket.
Beaver stadium at Penn State has 100,000 seats and average ticket is $45-$50 (student ticket price is about half but there are only 10-20,000 student seats) That's in the neighborhood of $5,000,000 per home game, and that doesn't count parking, concessions, etc. The place is a mad house and I avoid State College during those weeks.
I know a high school game will not bring in that income but, you might be surprised if you do the math. Now sports like cross country, track, softball, tennis etc. probably do not bring in enough to support themselves.
