WAAY-TV reports the cuts to sports programs are only one part of a large effort to save money.
The changes are effective starting with the 2020-2021 school year. Student-athletes who want to join another school’s roster will be released without penalty and can transfer immediately, the university said in a statement.
If the student-athletes in these programs choose to continue their education at UAH, their current scholarships will be honored.

According to the Albany Times-Union, close to 200 people overall were let go.
The bad news: Coronavirus is here to stay.
The good news: There are multiple reason for optimism in terms of how the world will attack it. The Guardian explains why.
Some scientists wonder whether the common cold coronaviruses crossed into humans in the distant past and caused similar illness before settling down. “If the virus doesn’t change there’s no reason to think that miraculously in five years’ time it won’t still cause pneumonia,” says Perlman. “But that’s the hope: that we end up with a much more mild disease and you only get a bad cold from it.”
