On Thursday, July 2nd, Boise State President Marlene Tromp and Athletic Director Curt Apsey announced that Boise State would be cutting their baseball program and women’s swimming & diving program. Cuts were expected after COVID-19 ravaged athletic departments around the country, but the move came as a shock to the coaches, student athletes, and the fans. Let’s take a look at how the process played out. I was lucky enough to have Kase Ogata and Matt Farman from the Boise State baseball team and Lucia Davis from the swimming and diving team join me for a few questions. I also reached out to Gary Van Tol’s daughter, Amaia Van Tol, to discuss how fundraising efforts are going.
Can Baseball and Swimming & Diving Be Saved at Boise State?
