Their basketball players are going to miss out on a 22-game season and a potential postseason.
They are first to bail ... but probably won't be the last
Let's not forget this won't be a 1 year issue either. There will be a ripple effect felt over the next 5 or 6 years from the COVID-19 issues. Why? College scholarships and playing time issues for players. The expected to graduate players may stick around for another year, meaning incoming freshman in the future classes may face a different environment at the school than previous incoming freshman classes faced. Then there is the costs to the programs both from an expenses standpoint and loss of revenue standpoint.
You also face the issue of schools completely shutting down athletic teams as a cost savings measure. It has happened at many major universities as well, along with numerous small school programs getting cut.

That's true but D1 is having, as a whole, very little issues thus far after 4-5 games.

Originally posted by Fightingscot82 View PostLet's be honest - they're probably ahead of the curve. Things are getting much better in Philly metro, especially West Chester. Suspending all sports saves good money on travel, operations, etc. There are still unanswered questions on eligibility for winter and spring. My concern is whether this means staff will be furloughed. The SID can only write so many fluff pieces, camps are cancelled, etc.
