University of Cincinnati athletic director John Cunningham announced Tuesday that the school elected to discontinue its men's soccer program that has been competing since 1973, perBobby Nightengaleof the Cincinnati Enquirer:
"This was a difficult decision, but one made with the long-term interests of UC Athletics at the forefront. During this time of profound challenges and widespread uncertainty, I have engaged in a comprehensive and thorough review of UC's sport offerings and long-term budget implications of supporting the number of student-athletes currently at UC."
All players on the team are allowed to transfer to other schools with immediate eligibility, and scholarships for those who stay at the University of Cincinnati will be honored until those players have graduated.
