As anyone who runs a university or a business can attest, there is no ideal way to make major reductions when they directly impact people we value. We in the Temple administration know that most of the affected student-athletes and their coaches are devastated by this decision, and we are doing all we can to mitigate their pain. Students will keep their scholarships and will have access to academic support services. We will assist those teams that want to convert to club status, as well as athletes who choose to transfer to other universities.
