On the same day that the University of Iowa announced that they were going to cut men’s gymnastics, men’s and women’s swimming and tennis the University of Nebraska announced some cuts of their own.
While they have decided at this point to not cut sports, everybody in the athletic department is taking at hit. Fifty-one are being furloughed from September until the end of 2020. Those who are not being furloughed are taking a 10% pay cut.
Statement from the Athletic Department:
University of Nebraska Athletic Director Bill Moos announced today cost-saving measures to help offset the financial impacts of the postponement of the Big Ten fall athletic season as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
