FURLOUGHS HIT NCAA. Turns out, the NCAA isn't immune to the economic impacts of months of canceled sports –
just the NCAA's senior executives. The NCAA will furlough its entire Indianapolis-based staff of about 600 employees for three to eight weeks in a cost-saving move, according to memo obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press. The memo from NCAA President Mark Emmert went out to the association’s more than 1,200 member schools Wednesday.
The furloughs will not affect senior executives.
Starting Sept. 21 through the end of January 2021, all national office staff will be subjected to a mandatory three-week furlough, Emmert wrote. Some staff will be furloughed up to eight weeks, depending on position and “seasonal timing of their duties.”
Yes, the NCAA has made the difficult and brave decision to furlough every person on its staff with the exception of the highest-paid employees. This is so on-brand it hurts.
