Minnesota's Board of Regents has voted to approve a resolution to eliminate the men's indoor track and field, men's tennis and men's gymnastics teams at the end of the 2020-21 school year. A revised proposal that was submitted on Friday removed men's outdoor track and field from the cuts.
A motion was made to delay the vote until a later date but it was rejected and the meeting proceeded. The proposal to eliminate three sports teams was passed on a 7-5 vote.
The initial plan to cut the teams was first announced on Sept. 10 and cited financial concerns due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Big Ten's decision to postpone fall sports including football.
