This is a nice article on the countries in Europe that are getting close to re-opening. Some good information on what that means in each of those countries. A couple of points. First, all of these countries attacked this very early and were able to get it under control quickly before it spiraled...

I agree with this take. I expect 50+ attendence is going to be down significantly assuming there is a season. Under 50 probably won't be impacted nearly as much.

I would agree that to have any sports this fall there would have to be some sort of treatment that works. Without that there won't be sports or any large gatherings - probably won't be students on campus. If there is no students on campus there will be no college sports - you can't say it not ok...

if you want the really negative view (I mean super negative) on the return of sports (not just college sports) - this is the article. It is depressing reading and I hope doesn't become reality. https://www.si.com/mlb/2020/04/10/sports-arent-coming-back-soon

There will definitely be pressure. Heck, if football season isn't a close to full season the impact on college athletic budgets is going to be huge, and not a one year impact. Probably talking about what programs are you going to cut and make sure you don't fall below the 14 program min the NCAA...

What this is going to lead to is a discussion (and disagreement) over how much the initial projections were too high, and how much the numbers are lower because of the mitigation measures that were taken. I also suspect when backend analysis is done the mortality numbers are going to get...

FWIW, L'ville's AD had a PC to discuss the coaches and senior staff taking pay cuts. He expressed hope that they would play the football season and said he wasn't in favor of playing in empty stadiums. He did also say that he thought public health officials would make the decision, not leaders...

I think there will be a partial football season but i'll be surprised if we get a full one. The current trends in decisions being made make it more likely football is not likely to start on time. Most importantly large gatherings will be the last things allowed as we move forward toward a new...

L'ville's 4 highest paid coaches have agreed to take 10% pay cuts this year. Second school to publicly announce coaching pay cuts - there will likely be many more. ACC schools are expected to lose $3M in revenue from loss of ACC and NCAA tourney.

not all sports are cancelled.

Ole Miss has cancelled all in person camps, conferences and classes through Aug 1. The State of Arkansas cancelled all college summer camps and in person classes yesterday.

I'm going to post this over from the other thread as I think it is the most in-depth discussion of this topic and college athletics in general to date. https://www.si.com/college/2020/04/08/college-football-future-2020-ncaa-coronavirus They are definitely going to try to figure out a way to...

It also gives some...

I get your viewpoint and don't really disagree with it, but State fans definitely feel like they will get screwed after watching UNC. So they will be the second school to go through the new independent infractions committee (Memphis is the first and requested to go through it). The potential...
