[QUOTE="GTFLETCH, post: 718527, member: 1668"] [SIZE=16px]There is a fact of life in Division I athletics that cannot be ignored. Football is responsible for 85% of an athletic department's revenue—if not more. At many schools the only other sport that pays its way is men's basketball, although at a few and a I mean a very few others..... the wrestling or hockey programs provide financial support, and women's basketball comes close to avoiding red ink. Again that is a few!!! Translation: If football can't be played, schools most likely will have to cancel all sports. And don't get caught up on the idea that they could play football in the spring. It would be ill-advised to think schools could play in March, April and May, and expect players to be back in camp the following August for the start of another season. Translation: There will be sports in the fall! Thank God for Football! Go Jackets![/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
