When there is no live sport event, there is no money being generated.
Any plan or budget has to be revisited to a certain extent. It is no surprise for
all the school sports event shut down due to the pandemic. This will start a
problem cause the school expect the funds to drive this curriculum and generates
more for everyone. I know the kids did not get a dime and that is a completely different subject.
The plan was for all 32 conferences to receive around $600 million. There are a lot of schools involved to
receive their piece of the pie. Some will feel the pressure more than others. Some big names will receive less
but they can weather the storm. But some will feel the squeeze more and has to improvise when things
will go back to normal.
Right now not much anyone can do. Lock down is what we are hearing to flatten the curve.
Receiving $225 million will serve its purpose to activate the program down the line. I know for sure
some other program will suffer more than others. It will be a base to base requests the schools
will reach to get things back. It may be years to see what can be accomplish in couple of years.
Some sports will jump start quicker due to demand where others might be put on hold. Now all these numbers
pertain to one sport: basketball.
Truly the squeeze will be more for some programs. I know basketball will revive the minute this pandemic is over.
At least we always have another season.
