University of Cincinnati Drop Track and Field and Cross Country Scholarships
The University of Cincinnati announced they will phase out scholarships in men’s cross country, men’s track and field and men’s swimming beginning in the fall of 2009. All current commitments will be meet.
"This was a very difficult decision," athletic director Mike Thomas said on the web site. "but one we felt we had to make in this difficult economic climate. While scholarship funding will be eliminated for these sports, the teams themselves and their complement of coaches, will continue at UC , leaving open the opportunity that at some point in the future, financial aid could continue."
The move is expected to save $400,000 per year.
