Athletics don't occur unless classes meet in person with no restrictions on campus. Its becoming more and more apparent that the US will be the only country not back to normal come the fall. Every country has people flaunting social distancing rules, but the US has a ton of people doing this - a minority that is screwing over the rest of us. Instead of stopping them, enforcement is focused on people who don't social distance hard enough - ie enforcing a mask rule on someone who was never going to be within 6 feet of another person, ticketing people for watching the sunset from their cars, giving parking tickets with made up times to people. These folks are great for revenue and allow the police to ignore armed bands in front of hospitals or government buildings (as they don't need the money that would come from enforcing social distancing on them).
Anyways back to the topic at hand, if schools want to cut sports, they will chop chop chop all the way down until just football, basketball, baseball, and a couple women's sports to offset the football numbers are left. I'm not too worried because a club system (nirca) already exists and road racing is readily available - though its pretty expensive for college students to pay the road race entry fees.
The real travesty is what will happen to sports that can't exist without the college system. I imagine they'll go to a club system like running.
