Seeing speculation that the only Fall college sport will be Football, and it's a revenue issue. Apparently lots of programs operate in the red, and if football doesn't make money, they won't be able to field teams in other sports.

  I think that all P5 football programs turn a nice profit now because of TV contracts.

  @dubsker I do realize that most college football programs don't turn a profit at the non-FBS level. All P5 make football programs make a lot of money, and I would say most (if not all) Group of 5 schools do, as well, due to the TV contracts.

  To be fair, holding out hope for that revenue is the only reason everything hasn’t been cancelled already. The Ivy League bailed on it early, I’m sure because there isn’t enough football revenue to worry about. Money is the only reason any sports are still trying to do anything. It’s an easy decision if your sport operates in the red. It’s a lot tougher to give up when you have something to gain.
  
  Speaking of, why in the world is the WNBA attempting to play games? That seems like a dicey proposition without a raging pandemic.
