Good evening everyone. I'm Barbara Townsend. Brent is off tonight tonight. New reaction to Linden Wood University's decision to cut 10 of its athletic teams. Five your sides. Annie Craw spoke with student athletes who say they are angry and devastated by the news. You just don't understand until you've put your whole life's work into something to get to this point only to have it taken away before Friday's announcement to cut 10 athletic programs including nine NCAA division one teams. Lindenwood University in ST Charles sponsored 30 NCAA sports. In a statement from the university, the athletic department had become too large to sustain the quality of the student experience. Lindenwood expects here at Lindenwood University, the women's field hockey team was cut effective immediately. The university is saying all other sports will be cut at the end of their spring 2024 seasons that impacts about 284 student athletes. We are all sitting in an auditorium and an administrator comes out and he read right off a paper, there was no humanity towards this meeting. He read off a paper and he told us told us within three minutes and 17 seconds that our teams would be cut at the following of the season. Our coaches had no time to talk to recruits. They had no time to talk to us within five minutes. It was posted everywhere on social media. So we were not allowed any time to process anything. This video is the Lindenwood gymnastics team's response hours after that Friday meeting. I'm hoping we could at least have a conversation with the administration at Lindenwood. You know, there's no doubt administrators are faced with some really, really challenging times out there when talking transferring potentially for the second time with Reese beckley. I would rather have this last year with my coaches, my people and my team put everything we have out on the floor and they're gonna have to rip us off that floor at the end of the season because we're not going without a fight. I can tell you that reporting in Saint Charles Annie Crawl five on your side. The Lindenwood student athletes impacted by the cuts will retain their scholarships through their undergraduate years. In addition to the collegiate competitors who have signed a letter of intent.
