Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 3498549, member: 591"] For the spring sports directly I don't think the issue of 5 classes worth of athletes will be an immediate problem, because I think some will not take advantage of the ability to return ("getting on with life") and what it will really mean is that the teams with really good recruits coming in will be loaded. For the coaches it will be a management issue, and some folks are not going to have the scholarship funds they hoped for, but I really think the immediate issue of next season is probably manageable. However, you nailed some long term effects. I am happy to say I made my current usual annual donation last week to Arizona but am not making my much smaller Rutgers donation at this time. I am going to admit the amount, I usually wouldn't, because I want to make a context. I give $2000 to Arizona athletics variously distributed. My point is that my donation wouldn't be missed - BUT - if everyone gives their (modest) (usual) (planned) gift, it will be a big help to schools. The big donors are of course another story. If I have to reduce it, that is an issue for future years. As we all know almost all schools are not making money from their sports to begin with, so the various minor sports are going to be a struggle. But I suspect that most schools will continue with "most" of the sports. A school like Rutgers - with way too many sports even after they eliminated five a few years ago, may have to eliminate a few more. But if each school concentrates on the more minor sports that they do well, it could be the best thing. [/QUOTE]
