I mentioned this one on social media yesterday – it’s now been made official…
D3 Bryn Athyn College has released a letter from their President outlining the reasoning for dropping all of their varsity sports.
Below is the section on the elimination of athletics. The entire three page letter can be found HERE.
Student Life and Athletics
We are restructuring Student Life and discontinuing all 11 NCAA Division III athletic programs, our club hockey team, and associated athletic staff and trainers. These programs will remain active through the end of the academic year, and all affected students will receive full support. A new model —robust, inclusive, and financially sustainable —will rise in the form of Club Sports. This change accounts for a net
reduction of 11 FTEs.
