Man, don't do me like that. Unfortunately, I'm afraid you are right. Trump is hell bent on getting this country back to as normal as it can be in times like this, but sports and everything else is fucked if a second wave of this shit happens...and I'm afraid that's inevitable.
Yeah I’m not even saying it will be justified but it’s a very real possibility. It’s unfortunate and I’m not sure how some of these universities are going to deal. It’s going to be big. My pops just retired as CFO for the 12th Man Foundation (A&M sports) and he’s said they’ll show a 20 mil dollar deficit in the first quarter. That’s not even in football season. I can’t imagine what some places will go through bc A&M is well off financially. Good luck LSU lol
Yeah, the football only schools might be seriously fucked. Luckily, we lead the nation in basketball attendance, but still, football revenue drives the bus. Our Athletic Director and coaches across all sports agreed to a 10% pay cut a couple weeks ago to try and help reduce our losses, but it's gonna get interesting if students dont come back in the fall.
Yeah I’d bet even Louisville’s football revenue trumps basketball. I bet it’s not even close tbh. Football rules in the US.
Who’s UC?
University of Cincinnati
What is the relevance to football? A lot of revenue deficient sports are gonna get the heave ho very soon
Brother, other than Football (The sport that funds all others basically), Men’s Basketball on a smaller scale (Millionish) and Baseball on a barely break even scale (Maybe 500 thou ish) no sport makes money. And unfortunately that’s at the big money schools. It’ll be interesting to see how the lower tier schools deal with this even in the P5.
That is the relevance to football.
They will not get rid of football, basketball, etc
Title IX needs to disappear imo. If it makes money than it’s good and players should profit off it as well. With Title IX that’s not even remotely possible in college. Too much to cover..
Agreed. But just about all sports are at risk if football isn't being played - or is being played but with empty stadiums. Very few men's basketball programs in America turn a profit. If I had to throw out a guess - I'd say maybe 15-20 men's hoops programs in the entire country actually make money.
Good point. We may see all sports shelved until football and basketball can be played.
Ehhh, LSU will just make cuts on the academic side to help out the sports programs. That's how we roll down here.
sounds fun
That actually sounds like a blast, but holy shit, $5 per pick? That could get ugly lol.
