How will they and  their sports survive?  Given the recent cutbacks at CBC, and the somewhat well known fact that amateur sports don’t make national networks revenue, is there hope?

Are there any alternate solutions for amateur sports in Canada or is this part of our culture - we have historically some of the most underfunded athletes in the world.  Will we only care when we host an international event?  What happens after 2010 - is there a strong enough legacy to support our athletes?
