(Iowa City) Iowa will drop four sports programs as part of the athletic department’s response to a projected loss of $100 million in revenue because of the pandemic.
Men’s gymnastics, men’s tennis, and men’s and women’s swimming and diving will be discontinued after the 2020-21 academic year. The Big Ten’s decision to postpone football and other fall sports until the spring will create an overall budget deficit between $60-$75 million this year.
Iowa is the second school in a Power Five conference to drop sports. Stanford announced last month that it would eliminate 11 sports.
