per Chip:
The department is in smart, capable hands with Coyle’s leadership, but these are unprecedented circumstances. No one has experience in dealing with these challenges. There is no script for how to navigate financial implications that every sports organization will encounter.
“There is no doubt in my mind that it’s going to look very different when we come out of this,” Coyle said. “I don’t know what that’s going to look like. But the financial impact on all of us is going to be felt and how we do things is going to look different.”
Coyle can’t give specifics because it’s too early in the process and this pandemic doesn’t have a known expiration date. That uncertainty makes it impossible for Coyle to predict with clarity the full financial blow to his department and solve tough unknowns or fears that people might have. Those difficult conversations will take place eventually.
What seems obvious, though, is that potential lost revenue from the NCAA men’s basketball tournament distribution, tickets sales, sponsorships and other revenue streams will have substantial impact on his department.

Mark Coyle's challenge with Gophers is managing the unknown
These are strange days, but the Gophers athletic director does his best dealing with them.
