Universities are a huge waste of money now, especially in the non-technical disciplines.

Better start viewing the world through an entirely different prism.

It’s evolving at warp speed.

Maybe all those lofty professors can learn how to code.

Or drive a sanitation truck.

"Even schools that aren’t football powerhouses like Ohio State are going to take a huge hit from this, as football even at second-tier universities is still a money maker. "

Oh, How I hate, Ohio State [it's a know nothing Party School] is NOT a Foosball PH?

Even a third tier University like Ole Miss will feel like the pinch from no college football this year

It’s a 5-dimensional move alright, but not by President Trump.

It’s been said before, and bears repeating, that the colleges and universities are business entities, which need to balance their budgets.

Even state supported colleges are discrete business entities, which will likely see less state aid, and thus have trouble balancing their budgets.

For decades colleges and universities have been increasing tuition on an annual basis several times the rate of increase of the CPI. The students’response has been to sell themselves into slavery taking down student loans to cover the cost. When they “graduate” they find it next to impossible to get jobs now they have been indoctrinated with liberal studies about the evils of capitalism and the capitalists who inevitably end up as the providers of the jobs they need to pay off the loans.. For their next lesson they will discover that liberal arts just aren’t worth it.

The true economic fundamentals of college are not sustainable. Costs soar but productivity never increases.
Warren Buffett said something like, when hard times hit you soon realize what companies have been swimming naked. Same goes for Universities now.

Yes, the death spiral has started. Not for Harvard. Not for Princeton. They will survive but they will lose half their endowment. Most of the other private colleges will close.

Um, Steven - you need to get out of the house more. THE Ohio State is one of premier football colleges in the country.

COVID-19 is actually a Trump five-dimensional chess plot to destroy universities, unionized K-12 public education, and Hollywood

Add newspapers and professional sports to that list.

Big Integer Football is not going to happen. The greatest university in the Midwest (if not the nation) had football practice on Wednesday and still intends to play football this fall.

What happens to the poor professors that get let go? All the new openings will end up going to minorities. What a shame. At least they will be able to practice what they preach.

Turn off the tax dollars, and let them respond to market forces.

Yes, that’s one process that might lead to good outcomes.

It also goes to show us that “opening up” alone is not enough. If customers don’t want to come, business isn’t going to happen much.

We need to shut down the epidemic and get business going again, and defeatism is unthinkable. We’re Americans. Our ancestors won a revolution and two world wars. We put men on the moon, and contrary to conspiracy theories, that was not a hoax. We can find some self-discipline and endure minor discomfort. Just breathe in through the nose, out through the mouth, and keep on working.
