if it comes back first then it might be ok, because all the sports fans are desperate for something to watch
I can't imagine what the TV money is in comparison to NBA & NFL but the lack of gate receipts and stadium sales itself would put a big dent in their revenue. They were also giving out these insane 8 year deals in their CBA and at some point liquidity is going to become a problem unless players start taking wage cuts right out of the gate.
This is pretty dense, but I thought it covered pretty much all the bases. (No pun intended.)
