Fresno State will be cutting its women’s lacrosse, men’s tennis and wrestling program by the end of the academic year.
In a press release, Fresno State Athletics said that in response to the ongoing financial challenges that the organization has faced during the COVID-19 pandemic, these three programs will be discontinued.
The move is to “ensure long-term financial sustainability of its athletic programs.”
Fresno State Athletics expects an overall annual budget savings of approximately $2.5 million once all scholarships and other contractual obligations have been fulfilled.
With the cuts on Friday, Fresno State will have a total of 18 NCAA Division I programs with six of them being men’s programs and 12 being women’s programs.
