Schools are concerned. The NCAA has a catastrophic insurance policy covering NCAA Tournament, but they have not collected yet, not sure if they will. There is a lot of lost revenue to be confronted

The SI story makes me think of Nassim Taleb's Antifragile/Fragile theory. Doesn't it seem crazy that much of college athletics is dependent on what happens over 12 Saturdays in the fall? Imagine if SARS-COV-2 had emerged in September instead of March. Just a luck of timing, at best! Talk about fragile institutions...

Even if we are fortunate enough to get things back to normal by the fall (which I doubt), we as a society need to think seriously about what our institutions depend on for survival, and whether it's prudent to leave so much dependent on a few features.
