The NCAA men\u2019s and women\u2019s tennis tournaments opened Friday, and what should be a time of celebration for the sport has had a pall cast over it with more Division I schools<\/a> announcing this week they would be dropping their programs<\/a> because of the new financial realities in college athletics.
Arkansas announced a week ago it would drop its men\u2019s and women\u2019s programs<\/a> and Saint Louis followed Monday with the same announcement. Illinois State said Tuesday it would end its men\u2019s program, and North Dakota said Thursday it would shut down its men\u2019s and women\u2019s teams. Gardner-Webb announced in February this would be the last season for the men\u2019s and women\u2019s programs.
