It’s heartbreakingly official.
After weeks of speculation, Brigham Young University–Hawaii announced today that it will phase out its athletics program over the next three years.
The school sent out a release this evening stating the money being spent on athletics will instead be used to provide educational opportunities to nearly a thousand more students.
Brigham Young University–Hawaii was established by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1955, and currently has 2,700 undergraduate students enrolled from over 70 different countries.

If it provides spots for 1,000 more students, can't really blame them.

Mormanism is pretty big in Hawaii. It has understandably been a popular destination for the young Latter Day Saints to "suffer" on their 2 year missions.

Mormons not having money? And I thought Baptists were the leaders in tight-wallet syndrome when the plate is passed.
