How can Towson cut baseball? - Baltimore Sun

I'd heard rumors that Towson University's men's baseball and soccer programs were going to end up on the chopping block due to budget issues, but I told myself they were little more than that. When I read the article in the sports section of The Sun's October 3 issue confirming that indeed these two sports are being targeted for elimination ("Baseball, men's soccer target of cuts"), the confirmation hit me like a blow to the gut. As sources in the article bemoaned the effect that these cuts will have on alumni, my heart went out to players on the other side of the spectrum. And yet, even as the Orioles vie for a spot in the post-season for the first time in 15 years, it suddenly feels like the sport's future isn't so clear. http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/opinion/readersrespond/bs-ed-towson-sports-letter-20121004,0,6036236.story
