Arizona State University Cites Economics in Reducing Number of Varsity Sports

Tempe, AZ
By Alex Ryan
Arizona State Sports Information

In response to economic realities experienced over a long period of time, Arizona State University today announced the discontinuation of three varsity sports programs, effective immediately. The sport programs affected are men's swimming, men's tennis and wrestling. ASU President Michael Crow and Vice President for University Athletics Lisa Love made the announcement. With the budget cuts the University is facing, Intercollegiate Athletics cannot expect the University to make up the difference.

So nice of them to announce it right at the end of the school year, so the athletes have next to NO chance of landing at another school. If the hatchet (person) AD had any managment abilities they would have announced the decision earlier in the year so that coaches, parents, and athletes could plan for their futures.

Ohio University announced they were dropping women's lacrosse just before the season a couple of years ago. The team decided to forfeit the season, and the athletes were able to find programs to transfer to. Announcing it in May doesn't allow for that.

I don't even know what to say. Another horrible move by an AD.

I saw this thread title "over there" and didn't even click on the thread because I also thought it was a joke.

Interested to hear Homer's thoughts.

I presume they will include most of the 7 things you can't say on TV and radio.
