The NBA, NFL and MLB are dreaming up ways to play amid a pandemic, with talk of isolating players in Arizona or Las Vegas or maybe on the moon. It all sounds great, until you talk to people who actually know science.
 

The proposals multiply almost as fast as the coronavirus: The NHL can play in North Dakota! The NBA can play on a cruise ship! MLB can play in a biodome! The NFL can play in its stadiums, with 70,000 fans packed in!

These are fun thought experiments, at least as good a way to spend time in isolation as watching Tiger King. And everyone wants to believe we will be buying peanuts and Cracker Jack this summer. But fans deserve a reality check: According to the experts—medical experts, not the money-making experts in league offices—we will not have sports any time soon. And when we do, we will not attend the games.

I think college sports are fine, because schools can still make money. 

The NBA, if they do not have a post season they will survive through other revenue streams

The NHL, already on thin ice with recent lock outs, and with fewer outside revenue streams then the NBA, I think they will feel the hurt a lot more, especially if they are not able to start the next season on time.

MLB, they have enough long term outside revenue sources that they will survive with out a season.  However I think the minor leagues teams will have a lot of problems since they rely on fans in seats to generate revenue.

NFL seems to be moving along as scheduled for the most part, sure they have removed fans from the draft, and off season works have adjusted, but I havent heard anything in the media about plans to change anything with regards to the season.
