NCAA and the Pandemic

There may be more like this to come:

Big East commissioner: 'If our campuses aren't open, we will not have athletes coming back'

 

The new reality. :/

 

West Virginia among schools cutting athletic costs

 

Gophers, Badgers dealing with budget crunch

 

NCAA relaxes D-1 scholarship spending levels

 

Some smaller schools are already starting to pull back on travel for games that have not already been scheduled.

Budget crunch could impact how college teams opt to travel

 

Interesting statement by Val Ackerman regarding Big East. If I'm not mistaken, UConn moves back to that conference starting with this upcoming season.

Edit: UConn hopes to be an official member of the Big East by July 2020, but legally have until 2022.

 

Does Texas really have that much money. I say that because I see all these schools taking budget cuts or some giving eligibility back to some spring sports meanwhile Texas is giving coaches raises & gave every player from every spring sport there eligibility back. I'm not complaining at all I'm just happy Texas doesn't have those problems

 

Most schools will be impacted more than UT will be.

 

Yes...Texas is the richest land-grant school in the country...we surpassed Harvard like 10 years ago...but there still will be some impact IMHO...

 

Texas will feel the pinch as will everyone. With oil trading at practically nothing the Permanent University Fund is losing millions, maybe billions.

 

Not to mention all of the facility projects going on right now.

 

First in nation, California State University to close campuses for in-person instruction this fall

 

A division 2 conference in California also announced that all fall sports this fall will be canceled. I hope this is not the first of many because I really don't know what I would do if football and volleyball season were to not happen.

 

I think it's a real possibility.

 

Recruiting dead period for D-1 extended again

 

Emmert: NCAA won't mandate uniform start date

 

MAC curtails hoops schedules, cuts 8 tourneys

 

NABC, WBCA recommend extending dead period

 

South Carolina coaches, AD taking 10% pay cut

 

Sources: NCAA Votes to Lift Ban on On-Campus Training Activities Starting June 1

 

Wondering what happens with players that are out of state? Tom Herman said hopefully they can get the out of state guys back in july so I wonder if that means the same for players like Celeste Taylor who is in New York.

 

Louisville, UConn cancel next season's matchup

 

NCAA: Voluntary campus workouts OK in June

 

A lot of interesting stuff discussed here. The NCAA seems focused on having Fall Championships. They also discuss the basketball season in light of decisions by some universities to end in person classes after Thanksgiving. My takeaways ....they will have a plan, the plan will need to be adjusted as spikes or additional waves transpire and they seem to want to avoid what happened in the spring.

 

"Delaying" rather than "losing" is probably a better description as at least a substantial amount of production should be shut-in with an additional amount in tankage waiting on prices to go up. WTI closed yesterday at $33.25 up $3.82 over the prior week and up $13.47 from 01 May.
