Do any of the programs that cancelled football in 2020 cancel for good?

The spread between the haves and have nots in CFB has gotten wider and wider and an entire year without revenue while honoring scholarships and paying for coaches and facilities may be too much.
Even if several do not fold I can see teams dropping to FCS.
As for FCS...In 2017, the NCAA reported that 98% of FCS football programs lost money, with the median deficit at $2.4 million. In the past decade, average attendance at FCS games has fallen 11%.

It will definitely happen if zero football. Smaller athletic departments will not be able to survive.

Living off being a rent a win a couple of times a year is a useless existence anyway.

I'm interesting in see the % of shut downs public vs private.
Will the private schools like Drake, William & Mary.. still be able to sustain athletics, with massive tuition losses due a virtual education.
Will state governments be able to sustain funding for athletics at schools like Nicholls State, SLU, Jackson St., because tax revenue will be way down.
If you drop football you also can drop the equivalent number of female scholarships.

That is true. You could see the loss of massive numbers of women's sports as a result.

I thought competition and regional rivalries was what makes college football great?
Also some late bloomers will have an even tougher time getting seen.

No doubt. 85 football scholarships per school equals a shite ton of women's sports going away
frick Title 9. They can't have it both ways

I don’t see how any schools athletic department can pay the bills without a football season. They will have to cancel all the other sports for that reason alone

Most schools should cut football.

If conferences go all in on conference-only play, then a few specific programs like New Mexico State, UCONN, and UMASS are fricked.
ND gets around this through their affiliation with the ACC but most of these programs are smaller ones barely clinging to life and can’t withstand a shutdown.
BYU can withstand a shutdown because they are fairly profitable and are independent by choice. Most other non-ND teams? Less so.

Football and alumni donations keep small school athletics going. Shut down football ball and you will have to shut down most athletic departments

The people who hate Football might be saddened when they see so many women’s sports eliminated.
It won’t make them like Football, but I don’t think they understand what makes those sports possible.

If football is losing that much money, how in the hell are they able to maintain other programs? I thought football was the program that paid for the others?
Somebody is making up that deficit. If that somebody can make up more of a deficit, they will be fine.

The majority in the thread are seeing it wrong. For the vast majority of college sports (even football and basketball) don't come close to paying for themselves.
Therefore the majority of colleges will see a reduction in expenditures if there is no football. Schools like LSU and Alabama are some of the few exceptions where football is a net positive in the accounting and the loss of football actually negatively impacts the school's bottom line.
