College athletics after COVID-19

[redwoof]

A sobering article is in Easter Sunday's Winston Salem Journal by App State AD Doug Gillin. He speaks to Budget issues and and potential effects on the school programs. There are examples of draconian measures that are already being made by App and other large schools. He refers to travel limitations, future scheduling, coach salary cuts, honoring scholarships, constructions, elimination of certain athletic programs, etc. Scarily these are the large schools he is speaking about. So what will this mean for already budget challenged schools like GWU? This article is certainly worth the read.

Yes, a good read.

Bottom line, if we don't have football in the fall, the NCAA loses all the revenue from March Madness and the football season and may just collapse.

Of course, if we don't have football in the fall, our nation will be in a full-blown depression by that point and college sports will be the least of our worries.

Well, ECU lowered the boom a couple of weeks ago and now Appy did yesterday.

No word from GW, yet.

Downs wants summer session two to start on time with in-person classes, which is scheduled to start two short days after Fuhrer Cooper supposedly lets phase two expire after five weeks. I hope it happens.
