Has anyone actually spoken with students about their experiences with online classes? The ones I have do not like it and are clamoring to be back on campus. While I agree with the loss of worthless majors, I'm not yet convinced a majority of the traditional students will go for the online college experience. I do think things will look different...if college football gets taken away in the fall I think that will really change the sports landscape...losing out on all the money from CFB will kill college sports as we know it.

I'd play, but I don't think arenas of higher education would...too much risk for bad publicity and most if not all follow the flawed models predicting millions of deaths and the only way to stop it is total shutdown. The non-shut down models in Japan, Singapore, Taiwan have much lower death rates and Sweden's are similar to the US and none of them shut down their economies.

I wish a way existed to evaluate the quality of learning in the two models beyond "I like it" or "I don't like it." I don't know that there is.

If attending college on campus stops or is significantly negatively impacted, I doubt college sports will continue to be anywhere near what they are now.

My oldest is in Engineering at Iowa State...that is definitely a hands on major. She's missing out on a Materials Engineering Lab this spring...watching videos of it instead of doing it. She doesn't think it is any substitute.

As to the latter part. Big time college sports is so far removed from its' original purpose that it might be a good thing in some ways.
