I know that highschool football can not be shown live on TV on Friday nights according to UIL ruling, does anyone know why? Also, why can't local games be shown on Thursday or Saturday on one of those channels like 20 or 21? ( I'm not sure of the numbers ) Highschool is big in Texas, espacially in S.A. It would great to see a good game that maybe we can't make.

There is an agreement not to televise HS games on Friday nights so people will actually go to local games, raising revenue for their local schools. The UIL allows televised (ESPN showed two Dallas area teams last week) HS games on Thursdays and Saturdays during the regular season. I think any school can get their playoff games televised, but I'm not sure. I seem to remember that Killeen and Temple show their games.
