EMU athletes react to cut sports - Madeline Reinbolt, Eastern Echo

In the wake of Eastern Michigan University’s announced parting of four sports from its athletics program, university athletes express their anger and sadness over the decision. “I didn’t know this past weekend was going to be my last match, so that makes me really sad,” said Kayne MacCallum, a senior wrestler. “We were all blind sided.” In a $2.4 million budgetary cut, Eastern Michigan University has eliminated four athletic programs including wrestling, men’s swimming and diving, softball and woman’s tennis. The cuts, which will become effective at the conclusion of the Spring 2018 season, were announced Tuesday, March 20. http://www.easternecho.com/article/2018/03/emu-athletes-react-to-cut-sports
