Tallahassee ABC affiliate WTXL reports that the school has not yet decided which sports will be cut, but those most likely to be on the chopping block are indoor/outdoor track and field, tennis, and golf.
The move is part of the university’s plan to reduce the athletic department’s projected $2.4 million budget deficit. Cutting the programs could net the school as much as $800,000 in savings.
Athletic director John Eason will make the final decision on which programs to cut, and a decision is expected to arrive before Thanksgiving. Any cuts will take effect for the 2020-2021 season.
