D1 Coaching Changes

With all college sports closed down nationwide athletic departments are facing huge deficits for the foreseeable future. If schools lose their football and men's basketball seasons the financial situation for many schools' athletic departments will be dire. If that comes to pass many AD's will be looking to cut expenses, especially for their non-revenue programs. I think we all need to hope that there is a football season so schools at least maintain their revenue streams from their television contracts. Revenues from ticket sales (attendance) for most schools are almost assured to be down.

Short of something changing drastically, I don't see how any team sport goes forward and manages to have a 'season'.

Never mind crowds and travel concerns (which are significant), what happens when a player on the team gets diagnosed mid-week before a game? The whole team gets quarantined for two weeks, and no games get played for that period? They play anyway, and infect the other team? The nature of team sports is such that if one player gets infected, ten get infected. And the 14 day quarantine becomes a six week rolling 14-day quarantine. (Ever watch women's volleyball? They huddle and exchange "fives" literally after every point.) And for six weeks, no games. Teams play half a schedule, if they're lucky. Standings are essentially meaningless. Etc Etc

I don't see any football (college or pro), or hockey, or - the one that's gonna really bother me - volleyball. Wisconsin volleyball is a favorite, mybe THE favorite, to win the NCAA championship this coming year. And they will probably never take the court.

And, yes, the financial impacts will be quite severe.

I see what you're saying. I think many of those same AD's should lead by example and take a cut in their salary because most of them are way overpaid in the first place.

I really do not think there will be any coaching changes, however if there are any expiring contracts, I do anticipate some schools rolling the dice on there being no sports next year and not extending or replacing current coaches.

I just read an article addressed to Seniors HS 2020, advising the Seniors to defer admission for a year.

This is going to be an uncertain summer for sure.

No changes expect for Muzzy of course. It would be unprecedented for her to retain the same staff for a 2nd consecutive season. :)

I agree. Are you talking about COVID-19 or...... the abusive head coach duo at RIT (CD & HG)???... What a joke.[/QUOTe

In general because of Covid 19. No take on RIT other than I would have to guess he signed a three year contract. This would be his second year so I don't think a non-extension would apply. The John Hopkins lax coach was not extended and was let go as an example.

So we all know who CD is but who the heck is HG? There's nobody on their website with those initials. Do you mean HMcG? I thought most people knew CD was the same way at Adrian before going over to RIT. I recall some on here warned of it when he was in the mix for the job at RIT. He's very similar to what they had before. Maybe that's what the AD was used to so that's what he got again. Lmao.

What is this, some kind of a "Clue" game to figure out who all the suspects are? :confused:
