    Default Furman Baseball and Lacrosse

    Besides being a private university, how can FU really "get away" with this decision?

    They tried to cut golf not long ago. The direction Furman has chosen is a huge disappointment but not a surprise.

    You are going to see a lot of this over the coming months. Also heard the talking heads talking about because of title 9 most schools are cutting 2 men’s sports to 1 female sport.

    Hate to see that. I played with and against a couple of the coaches growing up, had friends that played baseball there as well in the past.

    Nobody but it is supported 100%, I believe, by an endowment. They also have a course on campus.

    My Grandfather played baseball for Furman. His Senior year was 1917. They could figure out baseball during World War 1, but the Chinese Flu is enough to overwhelm them today. Soft as baby shit...

    Probably a convenient way to dump a few revenue losing sports. Provides some cover from alumni backlash.
