Calhoun shutting down athletic program - David Elwell, Decatur Daily

Calhoun President Jim Klauber announced Friday that because of required reductions in the college’s operating budget, the decision had been made to close the athletic program effective at the end of the 2018 spring semester. Sports affected are softball, baseball and men’s and women’s golf. Keenum and baseball coach Mike Burns were told Tuesday. All athletes and coaches were supposed to receive the official word by mail Friday. Current student athletes have been given the option to remain with the college for the last season. All scholarship commitments will be honored. Those choosing to transfer to another institution will be released from their Calhoun commitment. http://www.decaturdaily.com/news/morgan_county/decatur/calhoun-shutting-down-athletic-program/article_1a703a21-69c2-5303-9a7c-da6c3bc6fa9f.html
