SSU Ending Athletics!

[larry legend33]

Brutal... Super sad to read this.

SSU announces deep cuts: Layoffs, program eliminations, end of athletics to address $23.9 million deficit

In a message to the campus community, Interim President Emily Cutrer said prior reductions had proven insufficient to resolve the university’s financial challenges.

awful news

 

[larry legend33]

Yeah just brutal. Lots of factors but at end of day its one less place for the kids to potentially play. Really sad.

Money simply is MIA. Which state college will be next? Chico? Monterey? Humboldt? Turlock?

Dropping football a while back was one thing, but eliminating all sports is just shocking, and terrible.

 

[Streak One]

Really sad news. And agree that won't be the last school of their size to drop sports. And that is a tough situation for a lot of high school athletes

Sonoma has 5,000 students.
Chico has 27,000

Sonoma State always a great place to learn and play, sad day for the North Bay.
Always a sad day when programs are eliminated from mismanagement from over paid administrators.
Stanislaus State is facing some fiscal challenges, but they have a growing enrollment of nearly 10,000.
Humboldt has over 8,100 students
Monterey has nearly 8,000
Cal-State East Bay-Hayward almost 11,000
Sacramento State 31,000 students.
It appears Student Athletes are moving away from the north Bay into Sacramento and the Central Valley.

Your way off on Chico. They've never had 27k students in history of university. They have been around 13-15k post pandemic and even they have lost enrollment. The fires really impacted that school.

SSU was very poorly run and had a string of bad presidents.
