I don't think this will save the $$$ the university is looking for, but here's what I think they cut:

[B]- Men's Swim & Dive
- Men's Golf
- Men's Tennis
- Women's Tennis[/B]

These are not "team sports" - they focus on the individual and they don't help diversity numbers.  As successful and well supported as they may be, they just don't improve the university's bottom line or provide enough fiscal and non-fiscal benefits to keep them on the books.

Of course UConn is playing with a lot more 000s in the budget, but trust me, CCSU went through this exercise more than once.

CCSU cut three sports (M/W Tennis and M Swimming) after the 2001-02 season.  More recently, Central cut two more sports (M/W Golf) at the end of the 2018 season.  Back in 1996, CCSU cut Wrestling after sponsoring the sport for 28 years.  Just two sports - WSoccer and WLacrosse - have been added since the Blue Devils joined the Division I ranks in the 1986-87 season

Central Connecticut currently sponsor 16 NCAA D-I sports, all in the Northeast Conference (NEC), including football.
