Old Dominion University just dismantled its wrestling program.
University of Bridgeport Athletics Department is laying off many of its staff.
The Stanford University President and Provost are both taking 20% pay cuts.

Colleges are primarily about education and NOT about sports, so that is why Wisconsin decided to cut out the athletes. It's a shame, but just like HS, they don't have an obligation to give
any athlete 4 years of sports.

You are right:
The music performer can go to grad school
The study abroad kid will still be able to do so in the future

And the women's college lacrosse player can still play lacrosse after college... If she is good enough, she can play still lacrosse for the WPLL.


Again you are just misinformed , ODU cutting wrestling is unrelated to Carona . If you are equating playing in the WPLL to playing in the NCAA you are clueless. Actually there is an obligation for 4 years of sport to be available to student athletes as long as certain criteria are met by the athletes and there have been many law suits and precedent in the past in this regard . You are okay with the study abroad and music performer being made whole but don’t want the same option for athletes.
You say in one comment it has nothing to do with HS then go on to mention HS athletes . They also have several avenues to get their high school year back if they wish to do so and again why not give as many as possible the opportunity to get back what they lost .
It’s obvious you are only concerned about the impact this may have on your daughter , what’s funny is the obvious pleasure you are getting from some of these schools not allowing 5th years to return will in the end make it harder for your daughter to get recruited .
