They are hurting for money and they are going to try to get by without cutting any non-revenue sports. There will be lay-offs in the athletic department. They are asking for donations, but it's a rough time to ask for money with lots of people unemployed or on reduced salaries. Tough times for college athletics.

Maybe an outside firm should perform an analysis of where all the moneys they received from sports revenue in the past has been spent. Big universities make millions of dollars in revenue from sports, especially football and basketball. Some athletic directors and in particular sports coaches at these schools make upwards of $250,000 per year. Will they get paid since the programs have been cancelled. Universities are always crying they need more money. Look at the salaries of the administration. That’s a good place to start before asking for public donations.
