Also a concern. One of the reasons they. Can justify athletics being included in student fees is admission to events being included. If fans aren’t allowed how can you justify the fees?
@BGSUHockeySite TBH, I’m more worried about potential enrollment decline at the school. A much larger % of athletic dept revenue comes from direct institutional support (ex., student fees), so a significant enrollment decline would be devastating.

@BGSUHockeySite As I've stated, this is their only hope to playing this year, so they better get cracking on solutions. There's no chance fans are allowed in the fall. Correct that this might devastate a lot of places, if they can't hang on for a year or two that way

A scenario that has been debated in recent years is that most of the MAC football programs could eye a move to FCS to save money. Have to imagine those discussions will be amplified in today’s economic environment.

An update on BGSU’s financial situation as it relates to athletics. One correction for the story though is that to be classified as NCAA Division 1 schools must sponsor at least 14 teams, not 16. ncaa.org/about/who-we-a…
News: Nothing set in stone yet, but BGSU is targeting a 10% reduction to its auxiliary budgets, which includes sports. The FY19 athletics budget was about $26 mil. toledoblade.com/sports/bgsu/20…

(Assuming a drop down to FCS is in the cards. 16 is required for FBS teams must leagues have petitioned the NCAA for waivers of that).

We’re not at all in touch with the situation, but assumption would be the donors who earned the program a one year reprieve wanted the program to have new leadership.

A few notes from Lucia’s presser:
- League is fine playing with seven teams, but will be open to a geographical fit who are committed to the sport.
- Wants the league to be top-driven with committed programs leading. (Thread)

Your gentle reminder to please practice social distancing, proper hand washing, and to wear face coverings.
If cases continue to trend this way college sports probably won’t happen in 2020-2021.

$2.2m is a very large chunk of BG’s athletics’ budget. Without having the numbers in front me I think that would account for around 10% of their yearly revenue.
If the Big Ten plays in the fall, that means Bowling Green does not play scheduled games against Ohio State and Illinois. Those are $1.2 mil and $1 mil guarantees, respectively. twitter.com/KyleRowland/st…
