[QUOTE="LibertyTurns, post: 714658, member: 789"] The big money is going to win out. Many people think this is all about public safety. Nothing could be farther from the truth. At the end of the day the big donations stop and endowments/grants stop being funded, big name coaches and their staffs have no paycheck, large construction projects grind to a halt, people who are basically unemployable outside a university setting have no livelihood, then there’s the text books, the school trademark clothing & novelty purchases, the vacant dorm rooms & no need for cafeteria services or people to park in the overpriced parking garage or stay in the overpriced hotels. The ticket scalpers are out of money & so are the cops on OT directing traffic. Add to that the tv money being bypassed, ticket sales, concessions, etc. There’s even a section of students that won’t go to Bammer because who wants to pay out of $30k state tuition/fees, etc to attend the business school with no party scene. You might as well save your money and take online classes. The list goes on. There’s a lot of skin in the game here. Literally it’s where capitalism and socialism intersect & for that reason we will have a college football season unless the entire country is on lockdown which is not happening. Sports is one of the rare items and college sports a rarer subsection of sports in general that cuts across politics, race, age and gender. We may not see GT play Gardner Webb or UCF this season, but we’ll figure out how to play the other 10 & there will be a bowl season/ college football playoffs. [/QUOTE]
