This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Clemson to drop Men's Track and Field programs by tsl4264

The Clemson AD announced today that Clemson will stop sponsoring the Men's Track and Field program (indoor and outdoor track and field, and cross country) effective June 2021. This was done to save and reallocate approximately $2+ million annually to other Clemson sports programs. This action was part of Clemson's efforts to address an expected $25 million revenue shortfall this year. Affected student-athletes who choose to remain at Clemson will keep their scholarships.

Faced with a similar anticipated $25 million deficit, this past July Stanford became the first known Power Five school to eliminate athletic programs because of financial impacts caused by the pandemic. Stanford will discontinue men’s and women’s fencing, field hockey, lightweight rowing, men’s rowing, co-ed and women’s sailing, squash, synchronized swimming, men’s volleyball and wrestling after the 2020-21 academic year.

How many other Power 5 schools will take similar action in the next few months?
