The DJIA is not some general economic measure.
If it were up from relative highs, that would be one thing, but it's up from historic relative lows that resulted from panic selling that "priced in" something worse than maybe reality.
The DJIA is composed of the largest corporations, who are probably not the source of unemployment, and if they are, theyre just trimming labor costs.
This is one of the more rational "price moves" the market makes.

That’s obviously fake. I had that game, and there were always one or two lineman just spinning in circles.
Hahaha, that really was the worst fucking game of all time. Remember how you did passing? Loading that tiny cotton football into the "quarterback's" hand and trying to hit one of those fuckers with it.

Needing to do something about my DIRECTV bill. Paying quite a bit more than advertised $69.99/month pricing for Xtra package. Anybody have any recent luck getting pricing reduced by substantial amount? I keep telling myself to consider cutting the cord and going all streaming but haven't gotten there yet.
What the fuck are you waiting for? Just get a Roku and use the free trial periods on about every streaming service till you find one you like better than Directv. I promise you it won't take long.

Could anyone explain to me how Division 2 athletic programs stay in business if D1 is suddenly in such dire straits?

so you are looking at a 12 team conference that averages a subsidy from student fees and the academic side of over $8 million
Not disagreeing with your entire premise, but again, these numbers use university accounting definitions of profit. So if Arizona's AD expenses include athletic scholarships of $100M, that's not a true $100M cost to the university, but that gets counted anyways, so if they show revenues of $500M and costs of $508M, then that difference gets counted as a subsidy, even if no money actually changes hands. Same concept applies to depreciation expense on facilities, which will show up on an income statement, and anyone with a basic understanding of accounting understands that depreciation expense isn't a real cost.

I think you can also add massive long term debt obligations caused by the facilities arms race to that list. And you know the financial engineering necessary to justify those expenditures was based on the revenue gravy train continuing to expand at "best case" scenarios.
Cal's athletic dept was running a huge deficit (20 mil a year) until the University stepped in and absorbed over half of the debt obligations held by the AD and their recent $450+ million retrofit of Memeorial stadium and new training center. That was when times were good. In return, athletics was supposed to balance the budget by 2020....good luck with that now.
Football ticket revenue for Texas football was approx $40 million last year, and if that income gets nuked next year, we run in the red. Think about the numbers of schools that don't have the cushion that Belmont has. But unlike the situation in Berkeley, not many universities are going to be in the position of pulling out their checkbooks next year as they will have plenty of financial nightmares to sort through with falling enrollment and most state budgets getting blown up. If football is canceled or played in front of empty stands next season, I fully expect some athletic departments to melt down. Athletic departments that previously relied on the mothership to cover the shortfall in the past may be in for a surprise, as the money simply wont be there.
Cal is on a whole different level of fucked by debt than any other AD in the country.

OK fine. So we get more home games and we get reimbursed for post-season. You still didn't address any of the rest of my post. Where does the revenue come from? Do you think that the revenue from ticket sales, concessions, and merchandising covers all other costs for the baseball program, and then "makes a ton of money"? I can't imagine the basic economics haven't changed much, but in 2015-2016 the program lost nearly $100k.
https://college-sports.texastribune.org/colleges/university-of-texas-at-austin/
"nearly $100K" is the equivalent of what they charge for two scholarships.
Look, you have fucking single-A minor league teams in Montana that make money while playing a similar number of games, but you think the University of Texas baseball program doesn't make money?

You do realize there are more costs than just the scholarships for the players, coaches salaries, and "bloated administration" right? They have to pay the the trainers, doctors, people that maintain the stadium, travel costs to play the games, lodging for the team, for uniforms, and for tons of other shit. And where does revenue come from for college baseball? I'm not as familiar with baseball as football, but I don't believe there are lucrative deals, so it's basically ticket sales. And we only get that on the home games, of which I'd guess that about 40% of total games are home games when you count all the tournaments and post-season games. So you're really only making money on 40% of the games played. The other 60% do not result in revenues and instead incur substantial costs associated with travel for 27 players, coaches, trainers, etc. So I'd find it hard to believe that baseball generates "a ton" of money for the athletic department. It's all football, really.
lol. you definitely don't pay attention to baseball if you think only 40% of UT baseball's games are home games. And expenses for post-season games get reimbursed by the NCAA anyways.

How much is "a ton" of money, and where are you getting your info from? The numbers I have show UT baseball pretty much breaks even. Football and MBB make money.
The detailed numbers are contained in the NCAA Membership Financial Reporting System filing submitted on or about January 2020. If anyone wants to file an Open Records Act request with the university asking for a copy of that report, and all similar reports filed with the NCAA over the past 10 years, those reports would have a lot of information on the subject.
College sports, especially football, was ripe for radical restructuring before the viral pandemic. I think the financial strains placed on college athletics in general assures that we will see a radical new structure for all of college athletics sooner, as opposed to eventually.
The numbers that you have are utter crap. Baseball has 27 players. They get 10.7 scholarships. Those scholarships are counted as a cost, even though it's literally money going from one university pocket to the other. And at UT, the athletic department counts every athletic scholarship at out-of-state tuition rates regardless of where the athlete is from.
Meanwhile, that is 16.3 baseball players who are paying their own way. Please show me in your numbers where that is counted as revenue attributed to the baseball program.The financial strains placed on college athletics are about 99% due to coaches salaries and bloated administration.

You talking about those nationally? Or here? Pretty sure our baseball program turns a decent profit. Don't know a ton about track, but I can't imagine we'd give up the most dominant aquatics program in the world
The UT baseball program makes a ton of money for the university.

Which programs shutter?
I'll make that call -- absolutely zero of them.
Mosts of the things that athletic department accounting calls "costs" aren't costs at all.

He was in a dogshit district then. He went 1-9 both of the last two years, with the win over 0-10 NB Canyon both years.
That's the most WTF hire I've ever seen.
