TMCATS posted potential losses from cancelling the season for various programs below. Those losses look like the revenue from ticket sales for the listed programs.
Actual losses if the season is cancelled may in fact be greater. Two potential sources of additional losses are reduced donations and reduced TV money from conference TV net works.
It's common for programs to require donations in order to buy tickets. The amount of the required donations may be/is substantial. If a fan is not going to buy tickets, will they also make contributions?
Several conferences either own all or a portion of the conference TV network or their compensation is based on some the network's income/profits. It seems reasonable to assume a cancellation of the season would have a negative impact on the conference TV networks and therefore a negative impact on the amount received by the conference members.
