"These changes will allow us to focus our athletics program and use our resources in ways that will strengthen the overall program," said Director of Athletics, Dr. Wayne Edwards. "We want to be competitive in all of our sponsored sports and this restructuring effort is an important step toward realization of this goal."

Scholarship commitments to student athletes in the discontinued sports will be continued throughout their respective years of eligibility. Those who wish to transfer to other institutions would be eligible to compete immediately.

The plan being announced today is a result of a year-long program evaluation that included self-study by athletic department representatives and university oversight groups, as well as reviews by outside consultants.

The restructuring is part of a five-year strategic plan for the athletics program which also includes facility enhancement, coaching staff additions, expanded academic support services, additional scholarship funding and recruiting support, and increased marketing and fundraising initiatives.
