Report: William & Mary Reinstates Seven Eliminated Varsity Sports

William & Mary will reinstate seven varsity sports that were slated to be eliminated after 2019-20, according to The Virginian-Pilot's Marty O'Brien.

The school's men’s indoor and outdoor track and field, swimming and gymnastics teams will be reinstated through at least the 2021-22 school year, per O'Brien. The women's gymnastics, swimming and volleyball teams were reinstated on Oct. 19.

William & Mary announced its decision to cut the seven sports on Sept. 3 as it faced a budget deficit and "dramatic growth in athletic department costs," per O'Brien. 118 athletes and 13 coaches were impacted by the announced cuts.
