There will be more...the NCAA allegedly is keeping a close eye on this with regard to the Basketball Tournaments. They will be in a "damned if we do, damned if we don't" position. (As will every big attendance event that is scheduled in the next few months.)

Look at the records for both teams. I see this as much a cost saving vs health related decision. They haven't supported their teams for years and this is just another example.
