PROVIDENCE — Brown University will eliminate 11 varsity sports ahead of the 2020-21 academic year.
Men’s and women’s fencing, men’s and women’s golf, women’s skiing, men’s and women’s squash, women’s equestrian, men’s indoor track and field, men’s outdoor track and field and men’s cross country will all transition to club status. Women’s sailing and coed sailing will transition from club to varsity status.



Many more dominoes to fall.

Has nothing to due with the virus, they were planning this for a while. It was part of plan that allows them to be more competitive in their other sports. They eliminated 11 but add two sailing sports.

Other than football and basketball everything ought to be club sports
Baseball is on the verge of joining since mlb wants to cut out the minor leagues
Top college players making the jump quickly to the show could be a boon for college baseball

Doesn't really cost them anything.

Ivy League schools are prohibited from giving athletic scholarships.

Facilities, uniforms, travel, and coaches still aren't free.
