. @teamworks conducted a survey of over 300 college athletics administrators on a variety of #COVID19 related topics including the most pressing question: will football happen? Confidence is high that games will be played. There's less consensus on how many fans will be there.
Given changes, 70% said they predicted they'd lose at least 20% of their revenue for this year. Roughly 20% percent said it would be at least double that.

What does that expected drop in revenue mean? 67% anticipate lowering the operating budget of sports. Staff furloughs are the next most popular approach. Only 2% said they'd eliminate sports altogether.
