Good luck getting any schools to spend the money on a mic.
Some do around here in SE WI. Week 1 I was mic'd and had one for TV that stays live in the truck the whole time and they only pull up the mic feed during TO's & penalty calls.

I've done the AAYFL (youth) championship here 3 times and I was mic'd up at one site. I have gotten comfy with it over the years but would prefer to not be mic'd if I had my choice.
