Is college golf on the chopping block?
In a recent letter sent to NCAA president Mark Emmert, commissioners from the Group of 5 and 22 other non-Power 5 Division I conferences asked for emergency legislative relief to reduce or waive several Division I membership requirements, including the minimum number of sports a school must sponsor.
If approved, non-revenue sports such as men’s and women’s golf figure to be affected most.
“In order to provide NCAA Division I institutions flexibility in addressing the challenges for the foreseeable future, we request temporary relief from several regulatory requirements for a period of up to four years,” the letter read.
