I wonder what the TV contracts are like for these games? I know I'd demand a premium to play in one, and I'm sure the networks are expecting huge ratings from a sports-starved nation.

There's not going to be a lot of that with few (if any) fans being allowed to attend or being willing to do so of their own free will

FedEx Field makes a lot more sense as a venue for a game like that than Atlanta does.
I tried to find some specifics on how these contracts terms are handled, but was not really able to find many specifics. The contract for the Bama-USC game gave a flat payout to both teams, but also apparently had a clause to renegotiate the payout if attendance was affected by NCAA penalties, which really does not apply to the current pandemic.
Idea I posted elsewhere...
Why can’t P5 Athletic Departments run a deficit for a few year (or so) and look to make it up on future revs? Is this a state budget issue?
Why not sell part of operations to a VC for a cash infusion? Discounted valuation should be fairly simple.
Thanks.

If CU were to do this. What would be a reasonable number?
Does Rutgers ever get 500 people to a game? As far as CU, I have no idea what number is acceptable?
What is that...four people per section? Seems like they'll be > 6' apart.
For the crap we are going to see.... 100.

“How about a side of COVID-19 with your football game, sir?”
“Yes, please. Thank you.”
“mY PleASUrE!”
Maybe I'm confused. I've read a lot about the CFA people pushing to still host one or more games. I haven't heard or read they've been advocating for in-person attendance, or more specifically that they were pushing for attendance that exceeds SD guidelines.
They want to hold the game in a state that’s not looking to advocate any COVID-19 remediation.
Yea that seems really light to me as well

Any truth to the rumor that Midnight Mel will interview to coach the Knicks via Zoom during quarantine?
that's a real "damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead" strategy
What was the reasoning for doing that? Did they want an extra week built into the season in case they needed to pivot?
Stupidity lol
