You aren’t smart.“We need to get back to playing sports as quickly as possible”=“we need cash”
I think maybe this will be great, it might be time to put the “student” back in student athlete. Maybe coaches shouldn’t be paid 8 million a year? And maybe we don’t need that 100 million dollar football facility eh?
I have really soured on the whole thing over this...

Gained a lot of respect for Barta over this whole ordeal, the dude didn’t back down and isn’t afraid to call out others.

LOL. I would have loved to see the reaction from the university and folks like you had the university been stockpiling cash for a rainy day for the past 10 years. Hint: they wouldn't have been allowed to. The UI would have clamored to funnel that money back into other programs at the school.
University athletic departments are non-profits, they are going to push the money they take in back into their programs. No business survives going from $100M+ in annual revenue to zero, literally overnight. Not just a drop. But all the way to zero.

Wow needing a 75 million dollar loan that's going to take 15 years to pay back.
You've been cheering in glee ever since the season was cancelled.
So you would regularly attend intramural flag football games?“We need to get back to playing sports as quickly as possible”=“we need cash”

Well I assume you watched College football before the coaches were making generational wealth and the locker rooms were more like high tech clubs?So you would regularly attend intramural flag football games?
The AD of each respective school need to assertive and very vocal. Local business owners and leaders need to come down on the BIG Presidents and Warren in a big way.Yep. When the BTN plugged the plug and went dark, that monthly revenue from the millions of cable/satellite subscribers dried up. And everyone stopped buying officially licensed University of Iowa athletic gear so the athletic department no longer receives any royalties.
Financial hit? Yes.
Huge hit? Absolutely.
Will UI athletics survive? Without question.
Don't believe me? Ask the underwriters of the $75M loan.
Barta certainly is one to talk. After all, he's shown us and the courts what a brilliant administrator and decision-maker he is. How many millions has he cost the university all by himself?
Maybe he should figure out how the hell to do his own job before he tries to play Big Ten commissioner. Just a thought. IMHO, of course.

Same person probably complains because the economy sucks, but yet everyone stay home!
As long as we have winter sports and March Madness, they will not be at zero. If those are pulled off the table by Mr Warren with no input from University leadership, I am very concerned that could happen, leading to further damage to the B1G athletic departments.
They really screwed up canceling football and losing that tv money they would of gotten to soften the blow of no gate and concessions revenue.
And will wonder why all the businesses and restaurants will be gone when they want to shop or get something to eat.
You know, I have bashed GB plenty over the years in spite of him being such a nice guy the half dozen times I've talked with him. But this was a good moment for him and I do think he fought hard behind the scenes. Good on Gary.Gained a lot of respect for Barta over this whole ordeal, the dude didn’t back down and isn’t afraid to call out others.
Which is why the 'we're in this together, stay at home' campaign ticked me off. While the virus did not financially impact me, it sure did to a lot of loved ones and to hear them struggle was hard to hear.Yeah man why can't people just shut their businesses for 12 months and chill. You can come right back to it. That's how dumb some people are.

The best way to end this is simple! If 30,000 to 50,000 students can go back to school, just shut all the campuses down! If the virus is that dangerous/ deadly close them down! Many/ most businesses have had to furlough/ lay-off their employees with NO paychecks! Since WEare all in this together, shut down the university’s! The Profs got full pay for last semester! Furlough all the profs, shut down the University. They can get the normal unemployment. Then, WE have the WE ARE ALL in this together! That’s fair! That may also move the needle forward on this. Just an option to ponder! I have to ask, and it’s never been answers: If the Coronavirus is that deadly, how can we allow 30-50 k students on campus??Yes if I never hear that again it will be too soon. Easy to say "we're all in it together" when you have a job where the paychecks keep rolling in and you are wealthy enough to get all your food and necessities delivered. All the while everyone with the paychecks continuing to show up in their checking accounts get to make the decisions to end the way of life for everyone else. Sickening. Just sickening.
