Wright State (where Gabi Redden now plays) cuts men's and women's tennis and softball. They were already at the D1 14-sport minimum, this takes them all the way down to 11, only 1 above the D2/D3 minimum levels. The school plans to ask the NCAA for a waiver.

Some good news: Brown got a lot of flack from people for cutting one of their most racially diverse roster sports in cross country/track with the events of the past few weeks in mind, so the school has withdrawn its decision to cut those teams. They will have roster limitations but it's better than nothing.

Hampton is sort of dropping men's and women's golf, but asking for donations to bring the program back. It's a quasi-ransom note.
$352K to keep them going through 2020-21 $600K to bring them back on a more permanent basis, quote "to full strength" $1.4MM to bring the whole athletic department "back to normal"

I hope the program gets a Mulligan.

Pretty obvious to me by now we're going to have fall sports but I don't think it will end well. These schools, Marist included, have no choice on a money standpoint but to bring kids back for the fall because a full semester of remote learning will be major loss of room and board plus kids will take gap years and not enroll period. So I think they have a fall semester with heavy modifications - semester over at Thanksgiving, many classes online, reduced capacity in campus spaces - schools have already announced a lot of plans like this. It could be too idealistic and not work in practice. College kids are still going to want to experience whatever nightlife they have available, go to house parties in close quarters, and how exactly are we supposed to have people on the same floor of a dorm socially distance? Are kids not allowed to leave campus at all? All that stuff. MAAC schools might be able to handle it longer because northeast states handled the initial wave better than the southern states who are now all experiencing very big spikes because they reopened too early, but who knows how long that lasts. Just look at the football programs coming back already and having multiple players test positive

Winthrop (Big South) cuts, you guessed it, men's and women's tennis. Not many sports need a well conditioned athlete than tennis does. Marist is lucky to have an incredible tennis coach. Hope it doesn't reach here. DM and TM have done a good job keeping athletic department together through this.

D3 schools Bowdoin and UMass Boston won't be playing fall sports this year and neither will NAIA's Michigan-Dearborn. Not a good start.

The shoe finally dropped on UConn athletics. Cutting men's cross county, men's swimming, men's tennis, and women's rowing.

UCONN is totally mismanaged. What kind of experience can you get at a university that doesn't even offer swimming and tennis?
What makes it even worse is when you think of all the money blown on that football program.
Pathetic and sad.
