There are some concerns for all sports at this point that they could be cancelled. We need to do what we can to support, especially our Olympic sports!

I also read an article that schools are eliminating some sports to be able to support others. Also read something about them petitioning NCAA to change rules about how many sports they have to have or something. I don’t remember details or know much about those rules, but it did make me worry about gymnastics programs that don’t bring in much money.

Yes, I put the article about the NCAA request in the 2nd post. The petition is to stop them from allowing them to eliminate sports and stay D1. Kind of frustrating..
