Wasn't sure if this was posted but looks like Radford is having some issues. Say goodbye to three sports.

Also appears to be hurting women's non-revenue sports. Field Hockey and swimming and diving are both women's programs that got cut.

Just guessing, but I would think a lot of the field hockey vs. lacrosse thought process was probably driven by cost, seeing as women's lax is now sponsored by the Big South and field hockey was very expensive, with the weird NorPac affiliation.
