Pima Community College to cut football, likely other sports, next season - Evan Schreiber, Tucson News

The Aztecs will field a football team for one more season. Pima Community College announced during a governing board meeting Wednesday, June 13 it will be cutting football and possibly other sports following the 2018 season. The other sports being looked at for cuts are golf and tennis. All sports will remain in place though for the 2018-19 season. Athletic Director Edgar Soto shared his budget reduction and reorganization plan in front of the Pima Community College board. Soto said the plan was being discussed "for a while" with his athletics staff and coaches but he only landed on the difficult recommendation to cut football in 2019-20 in the last couple weeks. http://www.tucsonnewsnow.com/story/38419514/pima-community-college-cutting-football-tennis-golf-budget
