<p>Really disheartening news. Just saw Youtube link that showed the announcement with athletes crying in background upon learning that their sport is being cut as of next year. What do they do now, and would they be able to get a scholarship at this late date at another school? My D is being recruited for XC/TF. Have to really look closely at the different programs. Would be so stressful and heartbreaking to go through something like this.</p>
<p>Here's the link: Temple</a> announces cutting seven sports - YouTube.</p>
<p>Def an issues esp if your kid is a student athlete to boot. If they did not cut her sports, she is probably ok but def keep above in mind. I say probably ok cause it sounds like they already cut sports they needed to and are less likely to cut more while she is student there if she is a high school senior. Is she very competitive or just really wants to keep running in college. No snide ness intended. But if she is top running prospect, it would be wise to look elsewhere. If she is not, I would not rule temple out but go in with your eyes wide open. I am parent of a non athlete and this sent off sirens in my head too.</p>
<p>Way too short of a notice & during finals week to boot</p>
