Accounting professor says EMU will lose money by cutting four sports - TRACY SAMILTON, Michigan Radio

Eastern Michigan University's controversial plan to cut four sports teams to save money will actually end up costing money, according to EMU accounting professor Howard Bunsis. Eastern says dropping wrestling, softball, tennis and men's swimming will save nearly $2.4 million a year, and the cuts are necessary because of budget constraints. But Bunsis says EMU crunched the numbers wrong. He says for one thing, EMU didn't include the loss of tuition revenue from athletes who will no longer attend the university. http://michiganradio.org/post/accounting-professor-says-emu-will-lose-money-cutting-four-sports
