Guest Aledoalumni Posted April 28, 2020 Report Posted April 28, 2020 Several interesting points in this article *Not holding state championship events in spring sports this year could cost the University Interscholastic League about a quarter of a million dollars. *For the fiscal year of 2017-18 — which is the most recent report available online — the UIL had a net revenue of $1.62 million for football. That was after paying all expenses, including $425,106 to play the state championship games at the Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium in Arlington and $551,316 in overage that was distributed among schools that participated in the title games. *UIL paid $535,939 for NRG Stadium in Houston to host the state championships in 2015. *Because of what it has saved up, the UIL has not had to cut back on staffing to offset the potential loss in revenue. Some colleges have announced that they will cut certain sports to save money, but the UIL has no plans to do likewise. https://www.dallasnews.com/high-school-sports/football/2020/04/26/the-financial-ramifications-of-canceling-spring-hs-sports-and-what-no-football-would-mean-for-uil-area-schools/ Quote
Hagar Posted April 29, 2020 Report Posted April 29, 2020 I can’t imagine us not being back to a relative normal by July. I suspect the suicide rate and alcohol poisoning will outnumber Coronavirus deaths by then. Jmo. Quote

I can’t imagine it either, but then again, I would never have imagined the insanity that has gone on (and continues to go in) thus far. I think too many people get off on this insanity. This is the #Metoo of the Health community. I just want it to stop. Quote
