BGSU, organizers agree to terms on funding baseball

BOWLING GREEN — Bowling Green State University and organizers of a fundraising effort to revive baseball at BGSU have agreed upon financial framework to reinstate the recently cut team.

Though Bowling Green has not formally agreed to field a baseball team once again, it came to terms with the organizers of the Save BGSU Baseball group on fundraising the program: $500,000 per year during a three-year period.

The group said late Sunday evening that it had an agreement from BGSU that 100 percent of the money it raised would go directly to the baseball team, which the university eliminated May 15 due to additional financial exigency caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
