Re: Omaha Herald: UNO plans to move DI, will drop football and wrestling
UNO in the Summit may take a while to sink into my brain. It makes good sense for travel ... hope they can raise the level of play quickly in some of their sports where they've lagged. (They've been very good in a few but one of its stars, wrestling, is on the cutting block.)
Here are the current sports offered by UNO:
Women: Basketball; Cross Country; Golf; Soccer; Softball; Swimming & Diving; Tennis; Track and Field; and Volleyball.
Men: Baseball; Basketball; Football; Hockey; Tennis; and Wrestling/
UNO has been known to have Title IX problems because there are so many men's scholarships but the school's student population has a significantly higher percentage of females. Cutting away 36 scholarships from football and whatever they had for wrestling fixes a lot of problems.
Does the Summit League mandate a school offer a certain number of sports?
