I won't bombard this board with info but this article hit this am, good read.  Hopefully people can get access, it's behind a paywall but you get a number of free reads.  Discusses impacts on sports at colleges.

The below link is a cool find, its the amount of $ each school got in the CARES Act.  Significantly less then what they need for academic purposes let alone sports.  If colleges can't open in September so many will be in danger of closing in my opinion.  My daughter is at Holy Cross, online summer courses cost $2,400.  An in-person class (tuition divided by # of classes) is about $7,000.   Almost 2/3rds off for on-line education!  Then no room and board fees in not on campus and all the physical plant to maintain and all the people to pay if they can keep them which they can't.  I almost forget the credits that the returning students have from refunds of Spring room and board too, the schools need to work off those balances.  Its a mess but I am optimistic schools will be in person in the fall and am also hopeful fall sports occur, especially football even to empty stadiums (or partially empty).
