Bob Jones has pulled the plug on its baseball season after four seasons for financial reasons, as reported by WYFF TV.
"These actions were necessitated by an anticipated $5.5 million loss in revenue over the next two years," Courtney Montgomery, the school's public relations director, is quoted as saying in the WYFF report.
"The University has no debt, and our cash position remains strong. While difficult, these corrective actions are necessary to ensure the University’s ability to deliver our mission into the next century," Montgomery said, according to the WYFF report.
WYFF reported the school made the decisions on Wednesday after a review of budgets.
