Budget cuts slice away at St. Cloud State athletics - Cody Stavenhagen Star Tribune

St. Cloud State athletes, coaches and administrators lament athletic budget cuts and elimination of teams. St. Cloud State President Earl H. Potter III and athletic director Heather Weems stood on stage to deliver the news. In the wake of a $9 million budget deficit, the school was eliminating six athletic programs — men’s and women tennis, women’s Nordic skiing, men’s indoor and outdoor track and field and men’s cross-country. It also mandated roster reductions for four more men’s sports, including its two-time defending national champion Division II wrestling program. http://www.startribune.com/budget-cuts-slice-away-at-st-cloud-state-athletics/378048701/
