This could be an existential threat to the NCAA. March Madness is the majority of their income, IIRC.
The NCAA gets no (or next to no) revenue from the College Football Playoff and the bowl system overall. And I'm not sure what other sport is revenue positive overall.
I am surprised the NBA did not cancelled their season
I understand that. I'm just saying, if ANYONE has an real right to claim the championship, it's them. So I really wouldn't blame them for doing so, and outside of the argument that there was no tournament, I don't really see how you can refute them.
With that said, I don't imagine they will claim it. Unless the NCAA offers it to them. Same thing can be said about OU Women's Gymnastics.
IMO, they will probably end up cancelling, but they have more flexibility with their schedule than the NCAA given that it's a professional league. I am not optimistic, but if we do manage to get things under control in the next month or two, they would have enough time to finish up the season on a delay or on an abbreviated schedule.
