[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 735603, member: 2426"] Are the students on campus going to be there because campus is open, or are they going to be there because they have nowhere else to go? GT was closed in March, but there were still students living in the dorms. They had to apply for exceptions and they had to have reasons that they couldn't leave. It goes to the question of what college athletics are. Are they amateur athletes competing for their schools, or are they professionals? If they are professionals then they should be paid. If they are professionals, then athletic departments should not be considered non-profits and they should pay taxes. Are the schools going to treat the sports and the athletes like amateurs or like professionals. Some players are pushing for unionization. The NCAA and universities are pushing back and are currently trying to get anti-trust exemptions from Congress. Even if the schools don't really care about maintaining the sports as amateur sports, the optics of treating the sports like professional sports will remove any chance of anti-trust help from Congress.
