what do people think about this? i heard there was a big riot about the cuts. if i were one of these scholarship players i would be pissed off to the max yo.

just so we can all honor _base_ball and softball and centennial field:

History of Centennial Field - University of Vermont (1374 words)

Centennial Field in Burlington, Vermont, was created to satisfy a need for better athletic facilities for the University of Vermont, which was founded in 1791, the year Vermont was admitted to the union.

In 1913, Centennial Field was confronted with a problem that occurred in ballparks throughout the country -- its wood bleachers burned to the ground.

Centennial Field's grandstand is currently honored with the distinction of being the oldest complete grandstand structure in use in minor league _base_ball.
Centennial Field : Facilities and Directions : Athletics : University of Vermont (492 words)

Centennial Field, one of the oldest collegiate facilities in the nation.

In addition to hosting UVM athletics for a century, Centennial Field is one of the oldest minor league _base_ball parks in use in the country.

In 1989 Centennial Field was the site of the first two rounds of the NCAA Men's Soccer Championship with UVM drawing a pair of crowds in excess of 5,000 fans.

what no one gives a shit about uvm _base_ball wow you all suk

uvm destroyed football in 1974 , we cant let them do the same to _base_ball. you cant just cut a tradional all american type sport and get away with it. Hom many state universities have zero D1 football or _base_ball. this just insanity by a poorly run athletic department

I totally agree, it sucks that we lost _base_ball! Granted it is super costly for VERMONT to have _base_ball, that is the All-American Sport.

I would disagree about the ladies comments, Hockey has been UVM for ages, and I think will be for ages onward as well.

HardCats - I know you write alot of valuable things around here, but ever heard of SPELLCHECK?

Not sure what the solution is here. Obviously unless money is donated the University will let the programs go.

This is not a good trend.
