COVID will likely knock out a lot of non revenue sports throughout various programs.

re: Real Talk: What happens if there is no College Football in the fall?

This.
Cuomo's speech today addressed this.. we'll soon need to cut our losses economically and accept the fact we are going to lose a chunk of the weaker population.
The herd must continue.
If there is no football in the fall, one has to wonder if that is not the nail in the NCAA's coffin leading up to & possibly including an XFL type takeover or corporate co-ops. AD's in large part are practically over capitalized as it is being "non profits", factor in a year of virtually zero revenue?
Nightmare. Not every institution will be willing or able to subsidize that catastrophe.

Long way round the block, but yes.. legs created the issue. You run, you get hit.. can only take so many of those in this league.

Sherrill crawled into the SWC HQ's a few years after y'all parted ways with him & asked the Commish to help him with a job search (divorces & floundering car dealerships were catching up to him). Commish respectfully said "I can't consciously do that".. soon gets a call from the MSU AD wanting some feedback on Jackie.
AD tells MSU Pres & Board "no way".. thinks it's done & gets a call a few days later "we hired him without you".
Boosters.

My biggest complaint about Robert Gates was that he didn't give Byrne the authority to hire the football coach. Allegedly Byrne wanted Urban Meyer.
Ouch.
Dodds was in transit to KC to meet/lock down Gary Barnett when he got the word they had secured Mack behind his back.
We all have a boss in some place or some way.

Buddy works for a printing company... TAMU AD has a speculative order for "UNDEFEATED 2020" cups in place if the upcoming season is cancelled.

Better than JaMarcus Russell breaking into a Popeye's, JFF a dispensary or Tebow crashing the Vatican I suppose.

Byrne's problem was the same as his problem at Nebraska. He sucked at managing football.
Not sure Byrne had enough full control @ either spot, not sure many AD's do when it comes to football.

I think there are 10/15 or so 100% "self funded", but LSU is certainly in that mix & in my opinion gets the most respect as that kick back to the admin was/is crucial.
EDIT:

23 were self funded in '16. I think roughly 10 of those kick $5M back to the university admin each year. Texas kicks $10-$25M annually.
It'll be interesting how many can pass that test in 2020. My guess is zero.

NFL: Accuracy & brains in place of any threat to run.
As much as I loved Vince Young, the end result came as no surprise. If I'm a GM I'd go X/O's chalk talk & some kind of in game simulator as a qualifier. For every Jeff George & Vince Young you have the Joe Montana & Drew Brees types that say "Hola!".
Different game. Natural selection.

LSU is one the maybe 10 ADept's that kick money back to the University.
LSU ADept has been top 10% in revenue since I can recall.
Every AD will feel the economic stress of this recent crisis. I can't even put my head around it yet in regards to the ripple effect if the 2020 season is effected in CFB.
Good news is the motivation to have a 2020 CFB season is sky high/imperative. It literally must happen in some fashion.

I must be lucky! We had 3 guys on our staff that could hit 90+ In high school. They all played D1 ball.
Might be that none actually hit 90.
Our HS rotation:
DRAFTED/signed pitched @ UTexas
DRAFTED/signed NYY MiLB
DRAFTED/1 year San Jac JUCO then redrafted/signed with Rangers Milb
NOT DRAFTED/pitched @ JUCO/Baylor
All thought &/or were reported in 90's. None did in HS, one got to low 9's in college.

Sorry, busy evening. Main office is in Dallas, had to figure some things out.. Dallas County goes "Shelter in Place" as of midnite tnight. Check email, responded a bit ago.
Welcome to the future folks, social distancing is here to stay. Personally started it years ago by default... it's all good/no worries.

2018 season....
Reports vary to certain degrees in what some consider athletic escrow vs educational funding.. None of this should be taken at face value. Ask any CPA worth his/her salt.
Fall/Spring 2018/19.. most recent.
These numbers are pretty close to accurate as we'll ever see as it relates to hard/repeat revenue.
Sure hurts as a Texas fan, worst decade ever for big 3 sports & the money is still rolling. The administration is happy as a fat cat/no need to change.
