Do you think that sports or academics are more important in schools/education?

I recently found out that my old high school is undergoing budget cuts, including cutting funding from the schools student run newspaper and most library clubs, while the sports department remained untouched,and still the most heavily funded.

Naturally academics. Sports get more attention because they get funding and its popular with the parents, which is really unfortunate. And as school funding dries up, they just focus more and more on sports because it's a guaranteed moneymaker.
