Message: [QUOTE="Hurleyman216, post: 3518580, member: 3517"] Yes, but you also have to realize that the "cost" part of this is huge for universities on the sports side. They are certainly going to be pressured by the networks to fulfill their contracts and have college FB and college Bball even if it is in empty stadiums. There are too many parties with money at stake (the NCAA, the universities and the media corporations). Universities may have to make the decision to limit or eliminate fans at events, but I think it's very unlikely they will not have any games at all. As you mention, it'll be a decision about financial vs. health risk and it will end up being some middle ground (help ease the financial risk by playing the games, ease the health risk by eliminating fans from attendance). If anything, having no fans will lead to some of the best TV ratings we've ever seen and should help the likes of ESPN, FOX, etc. [/QUOTE]
