“We are saddened to have to make this decision, but it’s one that was made with the long-term best interest of the athletics program in mind,” ODU athletic director Wood Selig said in a release. “No one wants to reduce opportunities for young men to compete and represent Old Dominion, but we are required to be responsible with departmental resources. Our decision became even more clear during this coronavirus crisis, which we know will have significant impact on future athletics budgets. This decision will better allow the remaining sports to compete at a national level.”
