San Francisco State University is set to cut three of its 13 athletic teams by summer.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the cuts will affect 44 student-athletes in baseball, men’s soccer, and women’s indoor track and field. The university said the cuts will help save up to $1 million annually.
SFSU added that its athletic programs have caused a $1.2 million deficit from overspending on scholarships alone.
The move comes as California State University campuses deal with a declining enrollment since the COVID-19 pandemic.
In January, Sonoma State University announced it was cutting its entire athletics program come next fall to face $24 million.
