In response to penn nation
I think in this analysis we have to distinguish between conferences such as the Power 5 and the like where a TREMENDOUS amount of their budget is due to FB and the associated TV revenue. That's certainly not the case in the Ivy League so while cancelling fall sports would suck, it's not a big revenue hit.
Here's your hint at the real answer. Harvard announced that it will only have freshmen and students who need to be on campus "to progress academically" on campus during the fall semester and seniors during the spring semester.
Similarly, Princeton announced yesterday that first-year students and juniors will be welcomed to campus for the fall semester, and sophomores and seniors for the spring semester. Most academic instruction will remain online.
Brown University will move to a three-term model for the next academic year. Undergraduates will be required to be on campus for two of the three terms — fall, spring, and summer — but no first-year students will attend the fall term,
It doesn't take a genius to extrapolate that there are not going to be fall sports and, with so many students not on campus, it is unlikely to me that there will be ANY Ivy League sports this year.
THAT IS WHAT REALLY SUCKS!
