UND drops baseball, men’s golf

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – The University of North Dakota says it is cutting baseball and men’s golf from its athletic offerings due to state budget cuts.
 
     The school made the announcement during a news conference Tuesday afternoon.
 
     UND Athletics Director Brian Faison says the two sports will be dropped at the end of the 2015-2016 seasons. He says the decision was made after looking at the state revenue shortfall forecast, conference sports sponsorship requirements and compliance with federal Title IX regulations.
 
     Faison says he met with the student-athletes and coaches affected by the decision.
