This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I'm not sure I can really help you much by jt

why would having Wisconsin, Sc, and Stanford off the schedule hurt? Not many people in the stands, just replace them with someone else.

Why would there not be postseason bowl games? Do you know that for a fact? You seem to be dealing with hypothetical here.

Bookstore sales off 80%? Again, I'm not sure that would be the right number. Nobody shakes down their alumni and fans better than Notre Dame except maybe the Jesuit high schools (excuse me, college preps) nationwide.

Television ratings off by 50%? "Dear Mr Fantasy, play us a tune something to make us all happy..........."

Stadium attendance limited to students? The math on this is already pretty easy to figure out and was given to you. I would also note that nothing (so far) is limited to "just students." Private suites might be available, and NFL teams have discussed having limited numbers of fans at games.

The TV contracts have been negotiated already; now, I would suppose that there might be some adjustments needed, but I'm not sure why. The games would still be on TV. There would still be high demand (although you seem to disagree there, for some odd reason). The sponsorship options would likely have to be renegotiated since they would no longer be blasted over the jumbo tron. I wouldn't be surprised if ad space was sold on the field and on the uniforms; hell, maybe even on Coach Kelly's shirt.

All of this is really beside the point--it needs to be safe for the players, and they are investigating options for that. But no matter how you slice it (despite you trying to play fast and loose with the numbers) playing games is more profitable than not playing games.
