*Editor's note: This story has been updated because incomplete information regarding overall budget cuts in WKU's athletics programs was distributed Wednesday with information on other budget cuts affecting the university. The Herald will continue to update this story as more information becomes available.
WKU's Track and Field will program will be subjected to a 50 percent budget cut -- an estimated $700,000 -- in the coming year.
This is roughly a half-million dollars more than reported in today's print edition of the Herald. The $200,000 cut reported today is the amount of funding from the university's general fund budget cut from the program.
