Will COVID-19 be the needle that finally bursts the sports bubble?

We're going to see kids at some small schools going from football to hoops to baseball or track without a break. Someone's gonna freak ... stocking up on popcorn for that here.

 

Buncha lollygaggers.

 

Maybe the playoffs don't have to go so long. State football finals end around Christmastime. Winter basketball and soccer playoffs take forever. Lose in CIFs. Then make the state playoffs. Cut that shit down to size.

 

No way they're going to hold playoffs beyond Section this season, if there is one.

 

I don't know how fall playoffs can even happen. Southern Section is going to be a shit show because of how big everything is and how much travel is needed.

 

Those are very interesting questions that you are asking.

 

So spring 2021 runs into early September?

 

And they went 9-5. How did they ever manage to win the 9?

 

Thank you.

I used to be SID for a mid-major college. We didn't have football, so men's basketball was our spotlight sport. Before a rich guy gave the school enough money to build an on-campus arena, we played in an 18,000-seat city-owned arena in downtown, several miles from campus. For most games, attendance would be 2,500 or 3,000, more for our in-state rival. But during those games with 2,500 people there -- or during women's basketball with a couple of hundred, or volleyball with 25 -- I thought, "If we dropped sports, would anyone really care?" It would only affect maybe 125 student-athletes and about 40 employees. Very few students attended the games and even fewer campus employees did.

I'm surprised some (or more) mid-majors haven't just cut them completely.
