Budget cuts loom over sports programs across Wisconsin - Garrett Aleckson, Stoutonia

University of Wisconsin–Oshkosh and University of Wisconsin–River Falls are among some of the universities that have started looking at sports programs to cut. River Falls is currently looking at cutting their women’s golf and tennis teams. Oshkosh, on the other hand, announced that it would cut at least two programs, effective after the 2015-2016 academic year. The two programs Oshkosh will be cutting are the men’s soccer and tennis teams. Oshkosh will also combine the men’s and women’s track and field and cross country teams into one team. University of Wisconsin–Stout has been taking a different approach to the cuts. Although they are making plans, nothing has been announced since they are waiting on the state legislature. http://stoutonia-online.com/?p=1902
