a quick comparison of upside/downside, page-8

I think they'd go back to the players to take another pay cut if it came to that. And as far as FoxTel is concerned they're finding out they're nothing without sport.

If FoxTel don't stump up I expect channel 7 would pay to have all games on live rotation. They'd play 24/7 if they need to.

One thing about this crisis is that everyone (including the players) is getting a crash course in reality as they realise their well-being is not as secure as they imagined and heavily dependent on the well being of others.

IMHO the biggest economic risk in this pandemic is if the orange haired fool goes does the protectionist path when this is done. That would be a massive own goal and repeat the actions of the US and UK that led to the Great Depression.
