By now, everyone who cares about UB Athletics knows the news. The university has decided to cut the men’s Soccer, men’s swim and dive, women’s rowing, and baseball starting in the Fall of 2017. This means that as of yesterday, 120 student athletes are no longer living out life long dreams to play at the highest collegiate level. I struggled all day yesterday imagining the heart break that these students faced, as they had no warning that this cut was coming.
That being said, I’m not writing whether I believe this is right or wrong. I don’t know enough about the departments financial situation to come on here and voice my opinions in that regard.
