For the sake of argument, let's assume a vaccine and remedies are developed by early next year and we're returning to a mostly normal world by the spring.
What do the pro sports leagues do?
MLB: Currently in the worst position. Not sure what 2020 holds but would theoretically be in good shape to have a mostly normal 2020-21.
NBA and NHL: In mostly good shape right now. NHL more than the NBA. Either way, the 2019-2020 season will be ending in late 2020. Is there a 2020-21 season? Do they play a shortened 2021 season and then come back for a normal 2021-22 season in the fall of 2021?
NFL: Who knows at this point. I have no idea how the 2020-21 season will go. Even at the worst-case scenario, we're hopefully looking at a normal 2021-22 season for the NFL.
