This 2021 class will be a very interesting study for a lot of reasons.

Here’s a few oddities:

It seems probable there’s no camps this summer. No skills competitions, 7v7’s, etc.

Assuming we have a season, coaches will have to do the bulk of their recruiting during the season.

If the season is cancelled, what happens with recruits this cycle? They’ll retain eligibility along with the current team. Some players will inevitably move on, but likely not enough for a full class at each school. Wondering if the NCAA increases scholarships.

And to wrap this up, athletic departments have massive expenses that are typically paid for by massive revenue. Gotta imagine the expenses are outpacing the revenue in leaps and bounds right now with the cash cow on the horizon in jeopardy.

I agree, but the spring sports are always i think in the red so the schools should have saved a little money(other than scholarships), by not having any operational costs or travel costs to pay for all the spring sports.

The problem WILL be devastating to the AD budgets, as you say, if we have to cut back or cancel the football season.

There is no bailout for sports, especially college sports.
