    By 'it' I assume you mean COVID-19.

    In my mind, the 'it' is decisions by political leaders and to some extent business owners.
    They are reacting to COVID-19, but how they react is a choice.
    Admittedly, say in the meat processing business, business owners are compelled to shut-down until their employees recover from COVID-19.
    The upside for them is that when employees recover (and the vast majority will, perhaps all if they are fortunate), they will have a disease-resistant work force.

    covid as accelerant.

    I bet that one-fourth of all NCAA/NAIA football teams never play another game.

    Will Western Illinois field a team? Indiana State?
    All the HBCUs? Tiny privates? (not what you're thinking, Izzy)

    College sports have become entertainment and entertainment is nonessential. I'm happy to keep giving to Team Makers for scholarships, but don't plan on tailgating for at least a year, maybe two.

    Demand for tickets is going to drop like a rock. Concerns about covid, but mostly lost income and wealth.

    That's not a certainty.

    One problem with Akron's and North Dakota's approach is that everyone cuts off a limb and goes around handicapped, often better off that you eliminate an organization entirely.

    Ohio has a crazy big research university system, it used to have 11 history phds between publics and privates.

    ND could easily eliminate the administrative apparatus at all but one tech school/community college, and one four-year school. This could actually be in the cards, if things get as bad as they look like they will.

    No. But the outbreak likely did.
