The Boys Sweet 16 has been Cancelled

Hahaha... good answer.

There'll have to be major cuts and/or subsidies without a Sweet 16. Even if played, it likely still won't cover what they were expecting to make, so the question may be better posed as how deep the cuts are going to go.

Not playing it looks like a possibility, but I think people underestimate the impact that this would have in the short-term, especially when you factor in things like Title IX.

One thing I'd like to note: Kentucky seems to be more proactive than Texas in terms of quarantines, etc., and basketball is obviously a much bigger deal to Kentuckians. Yesterday, Texas announced that they had postponed but will play their State Tournament. For perspective, that's 6 classes where the semifinals and finals of each is played in the Alamodome (which has about 3x the capacity of Rupp & would be much tougher to book given all the events that they host).
