The effects on college basketball are likely to go on for years. But here are a couple.
First AD's are already seeing less revenue.
NCAA is paying out $225M to conferences this year due to the Tournament not being played. Expectation was for over $600M. NCAA has said they will give each of the 32 conferences $1.675M. They have not revealed how the other $171M will be distributed. Since most of that difference goes to P6 conferences, it will be those schools that are most affected by the lower payout.
Has not been officially said yet but expect the ACC to not distribute any money from the ACC Tourney to schools since it was cancelled.
Second, coaching changes. So far no P6 programs have fired a coach and a number that were expected to fire the coach not only did not fire them but gave them extensions. I don't expect there to be any coaching changes at the P6 level this year. That of course could mean alot more being fired in future years.
Third, scheduling for next season.
assuming there is a season (and that is not a definite), expect fewer buy games. There are already reports from low and mid majors that they are having issues getting buy games with P6 schools. With lower revenue AD's are telling their coaches they have to schedule fewer buy games and look for more home and home games with P6 opponents where the school doesn't have to be payed to come play. So expect fewer home games overall, but more against P6 opponents. For instance, ND had 7 buy games last year, Brey was told by his AD that he could not schedule more than 4 buy games next season. This is obviously a huge problem for low and mid majors as they rely on those buy games to fund their entire athletic departments.
