Just push the entire season back to the spring, I don't understand why that hasn't already happened.
Then we will be having the same conversation in December.

Wake should hold on as long as possible before canceling games. Let the opponents forfeit all the games and maybe we can just default our way into the national championship game.
As we have already seen, lots of schools are going to be forced to drop certain non-revenue sports because of the impact of the pandemic on athletic department budgets. The problem for WF is that it sponsors so few D1 sports, there's not much to drop. Pretty sure the ACC has a minimum number sports that a school must compete in to be a member, and wonder if WF is close to the minimum. Also, with Title IX requirements and a football program, it makes almost impossible to drop any women's programs. WF only sponsors 8 male sports, and that includes cross country and track in which there is a cross over of athletes and coaches; so, it's really just 7. Those 7 are all either steeped in tradition (golf), nationally competitive (soccer and tennis), heavily funded by committed alumni (baseball) or revenue sports (football and basketball). So, don't see, an opportunity to cut costs other than to just defund scholarships.
I don't think the cross country athletes and coaches are the same track and field athletes and coaches for the 100 and 200 meter sprint events, the hurdles, long jump, high jump, pole vault, discus, shot put, or the javelin. Track and field and cross country are kind of two separate sports.
I was referring to the distance events, where there is cross over in athletes and coaches. With a few exceptions, WF doesn't fund much scholarship money in the other track and field disciplines, unless the athlete also played football.
IIRC, Wake sports is at the minimum number required for Division I status.

There isn't going to be a football season, or fall sports. If that doesn't drive this home, nothing short of The Stand like deaths in the street will.
