Seton Hall University makes room for woman’s golf
Posted on 26. Feb, 2010 by Dana Nichols in Uncategorized
Seton Hall University will be adding woman’s golf to its athletic program roster as soon as next season.
Since picking up the new addition Seton Hall had to eliminate men’s and women’s indoor and outdoor track and field teams. Previously the university put up more than $1 million per year to support four track programs and will now reallocate a portion of that funding to remaining athletic programs.
The addition of women’s golf will keep the South Orange, N.J. university in line with NCAA and Title IX requirements and will remain a member of the Big East Conference.
Athletics director Joseph Quinlan said in a statement Thursday,“This was a difficult choice to make, given the history of our track and field programs, but it was a necessary one made in the best interests of Seton Hall Athletics on the whole,” and “It is not viable for us to continue to support the number of sports we do at the current level. With this decision, we will reallocate resources to strengthen the university’s ongoing sports programs.”
