This is an update on the situation as a whole - the original deadline was 2/28, but the Board of Regents has extended the deadline out to August. They have roughly 50% raised:

My fear with this "community-supported" model is that I can see some AD's offloading the cost of the program onto the fans under threat of cancellation. It probably won't happen across the board, but at a time where universities are refusing to take any responsibility for their finances - I could see this being a thing, at times.
In July they will officially have players on the team after the expansion draft and still look to play this fall. As for UAA, I hope that they can raise this money and maybe one of the oil companies in Alaska can help too.

I decided to check their chances at basketball tournament money, although conferences spread that out. They are currently .5 games ahead of Southern Utah in the Big Sky. It wouldn't surprise me if part of the shortfall in money is also due to no tournament money going to these smaller schools from last year's canceled tournament, which will hit the mid major and low major schools a lot harder than the power school conferences.

Here's some good news - the MIAC (DIII) announcing a spring season for fall sports - not sure if that includes Tommies vs. Johnnies yet.

West Virginia Mountaineers baseball has been put on hold due to Covid-19. That's a bummer, I was looking forward to their home opener series with Kent State this weekend and the in state rival game with Marshall on Tuesday, March 9th. All four of these games were going to be streamed on ESPN+.

University of Portland has been cleared due to a false positive due to a "technical error" https://portlandpilots.com/news/2021...0announcement.
I hope nothing like this happens to a tournament team that keeps them out. This kept them from playing their games last week.

I just hope they keep football. D2 might be a nice fit for them if they are struggling financially at FCS.

I don't remember seeing it before, but there's been so much bad news in the past year that were now on page 91. Eastern Washington has had a great football program over the years and I'd hate to see them shut their doors for good. Dropping down to D2 would be good news for the GNAC, because I'm pretty sure that's where they'd go. I hope they stay at FCS, they won a National Championship there in 2010 which was their first season playing on a red turf.
