The final whistle will be blown for four University of New Mexico sports next July.
After an emotional four and a half hour special Board of Regents meeting, the regents voted unanimously to cut men’s soccer, beach volleyball, women’s diving from the swimming and diving team, and men’s and women’s skiing.
As for the 63 student-athletes whose sports have been cut, what’s next is mostly unclear, but disappointment is widespread.
Abbey Willison is a sophomore and Albuquerque native who came to UNM to play beach volleyball. She said her team expected the outcome, but they aren’t going to stop fighting.
