George Washington University will drop seven sports amid economic fallout - Steven Goff, Washington Post

Citing the economic impact of the novel coronavirus pandemic, George Washington University on Friday announced the elimination of seven sports teams following the 2020-21 academic year. The cuts are to three NCAA sports (men’s indoor track, men’s tennis and women’s water polo) and four non-NCAA sports (men’s rowing, men’s and women’s squash, and sailing). The moves, the school said, will help offset an estimated $200 million budget shortfall for the entire university.
