Just 100 miles away and in the same state, Purdue announced students to return for the fall

“ 100 miles” could be considered a shadow of the dome.

No football in the Fall. I just shit down my leg. Can't fathom this possibility.

What's occurring is that unis are facing the fact enrollment is collapsing..
Right now, millions of potential admits and their parents are looking at tuition, housing, and meal plan prices, loan rates and terms, and saying WTF, we can't afford this. It's not a coincidence that JS just came out with this announcement. Admins are looking at some horrible numbers, especially for their dorm/meal plan profit centers, and realize it's hella cheaper to go online. This is especially true if the uni doesn't do deep discounts for online classes.
We're gonna see the consequences of all the debt for campus construction. Not just at ND, but across the country. Football is going to be the least of their problems...
I just heard that states are expecting enrollments to increase as it does when the economy slows

What's increasing is online classes, which is a continuing trend...
Frankly, it's a matter of cost. Unis have priced themselves out of the market. Nothing that I've read indicates a fall in cost of attendance, so unless that happens, what states believe, and what actually occurs are two different things.
Also, I haven't read anything that indicates states will open public unis in the fall as s certainty. If they don't, and everything goes online, it'll be an indication brick and mortar is finished..,
Bout time this system is reformed
On the bright side, football makes them the most money of any single item so hopefully it is high priority to continue.
I can't believe this $hit
The Canadian system works well. Universities are cheap and good!

From what I'm told, student loan applications...
Have fallen through the floor. Aggregate student loan debt is roughly $1.7 Trillion. The unis, including ND, have priced themselves outta the market. All this at the beginning of a Depression. It makes no sense to keep believing the scam the unis have been pulling for decades.
I'm from San Francisco, and there are six catholic colleges and unis in the Bay Area. The number of catholic potential admits has been dwindling for years. Yet all thise ivstitutiins decided they were going to keep building shit they don't need because admins thought they would always have students stupid enough to keep taking on loans to pay higher uni costs. They're finding out they're wrong, and a highly doubt all six will survive as presently configured.
Good. Folks are realizing that college is largely an overpriced scam

There were a lot of buildings going up in the shadow of the Internet Future......
.....many were donated by people wanting to put their names on something, but after it’s built, their is a significant maintenance cost.
A lot of building donations are for naming rights only...
Best example is Oregon's Matt Knight Arena. Uncle Phil paid a few million to put his kid's name on the thing. The total public debt is close to $220 million. It's been a boondoggle..,
If we don't convene school, no one else will be either & schools won't be allowed to play either....
Gee, i can't imagine that recruiting rivals would spread that lie around. Those kids might make a different choice and then find out that the other school was closed anyways.
JS says if no students on campus, no football
(no message)
As it will be for all schools without doubt.

Definitely a possibility it would go that way, but hopefully no decision has been made yet.
Would be very premature.
