Akron dropped three sports, but not volleyball because women's volleyball is a focus for the MAC. gozips.com/news/2020/5/14/general-redesigning-the-univeristy-of-akron-athletics-update.aspxAKRON, Ohio – The University of Akron (UA) announced today that it will discontinue three intercollegiate athletics programs at the end of the 2019-20 academic year as part of its plan to reduce the University's financial support to the Athletics Department by approximately 23 percent ($4.4 million). The action is being taken as part of the University's overall redesign to emerge from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in a way that financially stabilizes the institution. Affected by the decision are the sports of men's cross country, men's golf and women's tennis. With the change, UA, which previously sponsored 20 sports, will now have 17 sports (7 men's sports and 10 women's sports). Akron will remain a member of The Mid-American Conference (MAC). The move affects 23 male and 9 female student-athletes. The elimination of these sports, along with salary reductions for select coaches, staff position eliminations, scholarship and operating expenditure reductions will total approximately $4.4 million.

That's tough. I feel like when we've seen schools drop sports, they continue to honor scholarships for those currently on the roster if they stayed at the school.
For example, when Cincinnati dropped soccer they stated, "All men’s soccer student-athletes currently receiving athletics scholarships will continue to receive the scholarships for the remainder of their respective undergraduate academic careers at UC. Alternatively, we will assist in finding new schools for those who desire to continue their collegiate soccer careers."

These things are just heartbreaking to read. Very sad.

They may have to drop their pot smoking team. But then where will Chico State find a rival?
