COVID related, but in a sports way, so I'll put it here. Matt Norlander was discussing something that hadn't occurred to me, schools re-evaluating buy games, particularly with regard to basketball, where schedules aren't finalized yet.
With no tourney revenue, and facing potentially a huge dent to football revenue depending on what happens there, schools can't afford to pay these teams to come in and get beat. More and more schools are looking at high major vs. high major home and homes, with some sort of up front revenue split. While that makes for better games, it kills the mid and small major schools that rely on that. He said he had talked to one low major coach who said in his contract he has to get $450,000 worth of buy games each year, or the difference comes out of his contract/budget.
It also seems more and more uncertain whether this does allow us to have an on time college football season.
