Written by VT Sports Network Article   
Friday, 20 February 2009

"BURLINGTON, Vt. – As part of a University-wide budget management plan, the University of Vermont Athletic Department announced today that it will be discontinuing two sports, baseball and softball, at the conclusion of the current season in May. This reorganization will also include the closing of five staff positions. Dr. Robert Corran, UVM Associate Vice President and Director of Athletics made the announcement."

There are a lot of current Vermont students, Vermont alums and supporters who are extremely upset by these cuts.  Also, apparently there was a protest on the UVM campus yesterday after the announcement.  Let's see how things shake out.
