What happens to NCAA football after Covid19?

Please check your facts... This virus did not originate in a lab in China...

Odd that the virus just happened to originate in the province where the Chinese version of the CDC is located.

That is just the stupidest thing to say. Sure, the elderly and frail are most at risk, as with any illness. But to go around with the attitude that everyone who is just fine because they are 20-60 years old and go to the gym and therefore don't have a worry in the world is idiotic. It isn't the death rate that is what is so bad about this virus, it is the ability for it to spread and put folks in the hospital that is worse than any common cold or flu.

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.

So 25% of football programs will never play another game? Get a grip man. This photo has been making the rounds on the net from a Georgia Tech football game at the end of the Spanish Flu epudemic. The sport will survive. Some departments are going to have to cut the fat and lean up but this isn't the end times. Long term, who knows what happens with a P5 split. In the long term it could be good for college athletics. Schools like Notre Dame have already come out and said they aren't going down the road of of non amatuer sports and will drop divisions if necessary. The rest of the elite academic schools would follow suit as well. 1k84yr0n0gx41.jpg

It would be hilarious if the people who have been trying for years to get the "student" athletes paid money inadvertently crashed the system because they cant get enough schools to go along with the scheme.

Mods, feel free to shut this thread down as well. Seems to have solid momentum to become another COVID Timeline abomination. The usual suspects will make sure of it
