The MAC has already announced a whole bunch of money saving changes.   This won't be the last.
Luke 6:45   ...A good man produces goodness from the good in his heart; an evil man produces evil out of his store of evil.   Each man speaks from his heart's abundance...

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.

East Carolina dropped four sports last week, two each of men's and women's.

Furman dropped two men's sports this week.

Why are schools adding esports? I just don't get it. How can that team get a varsity letters like others sports? It's video gaming!

Is it a way around title Ix or something?

When I was at Marquette we only had four sports, cross country, basketball, tennis and drinking.
