How will RU fund its athletic program if the $50M
from B10 football money does not arrive?

Alumni?

500,000 alums x $100 each would do it.
But many of the youngest are looking to have their student loans forgiven.
Enough that I paid for one of my kids to attend RU.
Now I am supposed to pay for someone else?

Yeah, where I work, there has been discussion for the last couple months about how so many from NYC are grabbing homes and areas outside of the city, a lot in north Jersey.  Between Covid and the safety issues with violence, a lot of people are just not going to deal with the risk.  Now just about every white collar job has some way of working remotely, the need to be close to work is gone too.

Exactly. I deal with engineering consultants and attorneys all day and the majority of them are working from home. I believe that a number of companies are going to continue to have employees work at least partially from home even after this is over and are already thinking of downsizing their corporate offices.

Probably not a good thing if MLS doesnt release eligible National Team players. Kaku might get into his dark mode and sulk the rest of this Year if that happens... https://www.espn.com...-cup-qualifiers

you can't recruit international caliber players if they know you will block them from playing in qualifiers.  It sucks but is very short sighted by MLS.

But isn't the issue that under normal circumstances there would be no issue but the mandatory quarantine (and I could go on a rant about how useless they are but that's beside the point) would force them to miss two more weeks?

Gonzalo Higuain was training with Miami like a week after he arrived in the US, so I don't know what their problem is with other teams ignoring it.


If you scan YouTube looking for Bradley Wright-Phillips, youll find numerous goal compilations, a few interviews and, eventually, an excerpt from the grime mixtape series Lord of the Mics.
