When the season is cancelled

What will be the UW response to issuing refunds?

I say they tell people to piss off on the seat donations, those are a “charity gift”.

They will offer some deal down the road on tickets rather than refund the money. Including extra points (if everyone gets points, who cares?)

If you want your money back you will be labeled a jerk who doesn’t support the program.

Don’t you mean some *crazy* deal?

I'd like to see Jimmy donate a good chuck of his salary to the AD to help keep the lights not, if there's no season in 2020.

Also we need to @FirePete from the cushy consulting gig.

The real way is for football programs to be their own entity and break away from the NCAA. They support all the title 9 sports.

I wonder if NCAA will slide the football schedule. With the impact on athletic departments that football makes, it seems like they might take an approach of cancelling other sports instead and sliding the season. That's what I'd like to see happen. The departments need the revenue.

If the NBA, NHL, MLB resume in June, there will be plenty of time for CFB and NFL to move forward.

Paragraph two for sure

They will keep the money already put down but will apply to future ticket sales. Then in 2021 jack up the prices so you’ll still owe more

On topic: I'd guess they will just move it forward for a deposit. It would be great if Football and Mens Hoops could break off but title 9 would make it very hard. I had some women's softball player friends and they understood that the football team is what allowed them to do what they do. I'd imagine that's still the case.

Sue Inslee and Ferguson. The UW is a state institution. Their problem for breach of contract.

Don't fuck around with the underlings. Go straight to the top LIKE A DAWG!!!

I'm down. Men's Row Boat told the NCAA to fuck off in 1906 and never joined. And people forget that row peter puffering was still the most popular college sport in country in the early 1900s.

I can't believe I'm going to take the time to do this (yes I can; fuck you, COVID...), but this is the solution to college football like a gallon of gasoline and a match is the solution to stubborn bacne.

Title IX is not an NCAA guideline, it's federal law. For football programs to remove themselves from the requirements of Title IX, they'd have to completely sever association with the university. That would turn college football into a cross between the XFL and a high school all-star game. College football would be, immediately, dead in the water. No minor league football team is filling a stadium with 110,000 fans. No minor league football game is attracting more than a pittance from broadcast partners. The bills would still come due for the fancy stadiums and facilities that the universities provide these teams, and the universities would have to soak the new minor league teams heavily for their continued use. The teams would not profit enough from gate sales, TV revenue, and merchandise to even pay their bills and support recruiting and marketing to current levels, let alone live high off the hog relative to their current situation as you seem to think they would.

The sole reason NCAA football is successful is because it provides entertainment value nearly equal to (greater than, in my opinion) a professional league, yet with the built in fan base and tradition of an associated institution that rolls tens of thousands of students through its doors every year. In short, college revenue sports are popular because of the pro-like atmosphere and coverage (in person and on TV), which is possible because of the massive alumni bases that form the core of college teams' viewing customers.

What interest does a UW grad have in watching the Seattle Buttfucks play the Pullman Sodbusters at Pop Keeney? I'll pay my $200 StubHub tax to watch my Dwags disappoint me against Michigan on a crisp October afternoon, but I wouldn't pay $5 to watch some new minor league team take on the mighty Eugene Knights. There's an actual pro team with actual history just down the road, annoying fan base or not.

This. When the MLB or NBA gets completely cancelled, it’s time to worry.

RaceBannon

It is also why players won't get paid straight cash. They won't become school employees. The schools won't take on the risk. The other sports and athletes would have to receive close to equal compensation.

Colleges would say fuck it let the NFL pay for their own minor leagues and we would all be worse off for it
