BREAKING: UConn Pres. Tom Katsouleas says that fall sports will likely be cancelled.

"Current thinking is that likely fall sports will be cancelled - with the exception of those that can be played at a safe distance”.

The Pres. spoke to a UConn Journalism class moments ago.


quote:

Katsouleas noted that IF fall sports are cancelled, "scholarships will still be honored."

UCONN Football loses a ton of money. Also they can use this as a convenient excuse to drop out of the FBS.

Awful thread title.

“Current thinking is likely.” That’s a lot of qualifiers and is very different from an official announcement cancelling fall sports

UConn has this luxury because they are a top 5 worst team in FBS. Let’s see some big boys do this, then it would be a little more worrying.

NO WAY they will cancel women's basketball season. That's all they've got.

This stupid and BS.


It sucks because it will be just like a month ago where it was basically a snowball rolling downhill. Once one thing got cancelled the rest fell right in line.

It will happen again

If the IHME model is correct, we won't have any coronavirus deaths in America from June 18 on. So for all of July-December we're all just going to hide under our beds?

Schools that make money on football will want to make money on football. They might eventually cancel but they're not gonna just fall in line behind UCONN in the next week or something. Now, UMASS and New Mexico St. might.
