MINIUM: In Part Because of the Pandemic, ODU Athletics Needs Donors and Fans to Step Up

By Harry Minium

The financial outlook for Old Dominion University's athletic program has been hurt by the coronavirus pandemic

Athletic Director Wood Selig has projected a large athletic deficit because of revenue that will be lost as a result of the pandemic. In addition, ODU is looking at a $2 million to $3 million loss of football revenue.

Without additional money being raised through fundraising efforts, ODU's ability to compete may be impaired.
