Serious question. Who knows where things net out. And I hate to even imagine such a thing. But I’m curious what will happen if the ncaa says all sports are cancelled for the 20-21 season?
Would our seniors move on and try to play pro somewhere? Would some stay and some go? Would the ncaa allow for more scholarships to accommodate the seniors who don’t leave and the incoming freshmen?
Would universities want to pay for those extra scholarships given how much strain they are under? Think about football rosters. Some teams have 20+ seniors on a team. What becomes of them? Are scholarships then just awarded to the best players and schools tell sophomores and juniors to find somewhere else to play?
Just curious what the board thinks. I’ve tried my best to not even imagine such a thing. But it seems possible that the ncaa cancels at least all fall sports given that there’s still no real treatments available and no vaccine. One player getting sick on one team likely quarantines a team and destroys an entire schedule for entire conferences. Seems sort of untenable at this point given the climate of everything.
