Universities cutting sports, others adding ahead of $2.8 billion NCAA antitrust settlement
- Over the past three months, universities like Radford and others have cut or added sports programs amid the $2.8 billion NCAA antitrust settlement.
- These changes respond to rising expenses, new revenue sharing, roster caps, and competitive pressure that especially challenge mid-major and smaller Division I schools.
- Radford plans to discontinue both its men's and women's tennis programs, introduce women's flag football at the club level, and increase opportunities for male runners. In addition, UTEP, Cal Poly, and Marquette have implemented significant changes to their athletic offerings.
- Patrick Rishe suggested that it is becoming increasingly likely that the most financially powerful 30 to 40 universities will separate themselves from Division I and establish a new group, effectively creating a distinct classification apart from the remaining schools.
- These developments signal that universities face difficult choices about sustaining programs, with under-the-radar sports programs particularly vulnerable amid an uncertain future.
