I keep telling you guys all the numbers, and I hope you’re all listening. The amount of money on the line is nothing short of staggering.
Most college football programs don’t make a ton of money. Only the big dogs do. The Big 10 alone has five teams that will each lose at least $80 million.
If those numbers don’t terrify you during the coronavirus pandemic, then nothing ever will.

Folks, we simply have to find a way to play football. I’m not going to pretend like I have all the answers, but I know we have to do something.
These athletic programs and campuses are going to get hammered if we don’t figure out a way to play. If you think these schools can stomach losing $80+ million, then you’re an idiot.
