Probably given 2 choices. Fire or retire.

ESPN is all over the odd timing of this retirement. I think they are ready to jump all over the next story.

Not that this news is shocking to anyone around here, but it did open my eyes to one of the consequences of us not getting this COVID thing figure out by next Fall Wasn't thinking this could be a factor for that long of a term, but here we are...

Yeah, this could get VERY interesting, and I don’t think any option of playing games in some way, shape, or form is off the table.

I mean, we could just end college athletics. It's supposed to be about education after all.

For that matter, we could end athletics. Why are we still doing this? It was Muscular Christianity from the 1880s.

End athletics and have Professional F-cking Leagues. That would get ratings. And College F-cking would be extremely popular. Particularly the SEC and Pac 10.

Not so much the Ivies.

Large schools eating $15 mil for the small sports shouldnt be an issue.

I'd actually be interested in a more in-depth look at this.

Here's a site with budgets for FBS and FCS conferences and schools.

The MAC's average budget is the following:

42% Institutional Support
22% Student Fees
11% NCAA/Media distributions
6% Donors
5% Guarantees (this one surprises me)
All other below 5%

Big XII

32% NCAA/Media distributions
28% Donors
21% Ticket Sales
11% Sponsorships
All other below 6%

Now, obviously, these are just percentages, and the Big XII pulls in around 3x as much revenue, and it does take a certain "flat rate" to have athletics in the first place, so the MAC could be treading water as it is, but based on that the MAC actually has a more "stable" budget, barring school getting canceled, but if that happens there's no football anyway. You're right in that the bigger schools have way more money to take a hit with, but if the games go on with limited crowds, the Big XII loses 20% of their revenue, while the MAC loses less than 5%.

I think if anything kills these sports, it's the loss of NCAA distribution from the tournament getting canceled. They only paid out about a third of their usual amount, and that was after digging into reserves.
