The sports articles provided to you deal with the difficulties of collegiate programs in their handling of being able to continue sports during the Covid-19 pandemic. Schools from the smaller conferences are hit the hardest because they are reliant on playing the bigger schools in order to subsidize their athletic department.

What are the biggest obstacles that these schools have to deal with in trying to continue to play sports in this climate? As an administrator, one of your jobs is balancing your budget to the penny. What steps should be taken to keep your athletic department financially stable?
