What did Fox Sports predict?If not it may be like FOX Sports predicted this morning.
They reported on the letter sent to NCAA president Mark Emmert from 5 conference commissioners about a request to relax the requirement of feilding 16 sports programs. They used the University of Cincinnati (Dropped men's soccer) and Old Demion (Dropped wrestling)as examples of the first of many universities that are looking to reduce the amount of sports offered and try to cut expenses to handle the huge budget cuts coming up. The economic outlook for college sports is not good. The report stated deficit in the hundreds of millions of dollars just from the canceling of the basketball tournaments.What did Fox Sports predict?
Maybe, I don't see the relationship as close between college and high school due to different funding streams. But I will say that economic damage done to the Ohio economy by the governor's and mayor's decisions may be more devastating than I feared. I really, really hope (but I doubt) that the Gvner consulted with an economic panel and went into tp the shutdowns with his eyes wide open. But from his talk and the look on the LtGvner face, I fear that that they are constantly getting surprised by the economic data. May want to play the tournaments on school fields as funding streams. Even more of reason to get football playing at the college level.They reported on the letter sent to NCAA president Mark Emmert from 5 conference commissioners about a request to relax the requirement of feilding 16 sports programs.

Dewine already said look for steep cuts in budgets including education. If colleges are looking to drop sports it will trickle down to HS....
