April 16, 2010
The University of California, Davis, will discontinue four of its 27 intercollegiate sports, and its athletics department will absorb another $400,000 in annual operational cuts as the campus continues to struggle through an unprecedented financial crisis.
Women’s rowing, men’s wrestling, men’s swimming and diving, and men’s indoor track and field will be discontinued as of July 1. The loss of the teams directly affects 73 female student-athletes and 80 male student-athletes and the coaching staffs.
