Future of 8 UND sports up in the air as committee considers cuts - Wade Rupard Forum News

At least two sports are all but certain to be on the chopping block at the University of North Dakota. A list presented to the Intercollegiate Athletic Committee on Monday identified eight athletics programs that could be cut: soccer, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, men's and women’s swimming and diving, and men’s and women’s golf. The committee asked the UND Athletics Department to run scenarios for what it would look like if it had 16, 17 or 18 sports at medium or high funding levels. This would reflect the elimination of two to four of the university's existing sports programs. http://bismarcktribune.com/news/state-and-regional/future-of-und-sports-up-in-the-air-as-committee/article_a081501e-51db-5938-86ce-7bcc7275ede9.html
