UA sports teams could face cuts over the next 3 years - Jennifer Pignolet / Beacon Journal/Ohio.com

Some University of Akron sports teams could see reductions over the next three years under a plan to stem the flow of money from the university’s general fund to the athletic department. The university — which provided $22.8 million from the general fund to athletics this year — aims to reduce the subsidy by $8 million over the next few years. Green said he does not expect any sports will be cut completely, but some programs could have their budgets reduced and goals re-prioritized away from national competition. https://www.ohio.com/news/20190607/ua-sports-teams-could-face-cuts-over-next-3-years
