College sports programs have been an unexpected casualty of the coronavirus pandemic. Here's the story of one student-athlete who lost his team.
Dozens of schools, including a number of Division-I institutions, have cut programs as a result of financial hardship due to the pandemic.The coronavirus pandemic has had a devastating impact on the entire world.
The 6-foot-1, 170-pound striker recorded a goal and 13 shots on target in his 699 minutes of play during the season and had more appearances than any other true freshman on the team. He had all the confidence in the world heading into his sophomore year, and he was ready to take on more responsibility for the team."My freshman year turned out better for me than I expected," Robinson told Insider. "I played more than I had thought I would.
The coronavirus pandemic brought the entire sports world to a screeching halt, and college sports programs were amongst the hardest hit. Typically, football and men's basketball — the revenue sports at the vast majority of Division-I schools — generate enough income through television contracts and ticket sales to fund sports that do not bring in enough money to cover their expenses. But forced shutdowns due to the COVID-19 outbreak have caused that system to break down at many institutions.
Furloughs, layoffs, and pay cuts have all come into play, but for some athletics departments, that still wasn't enough. Individual teams started to find themselves on the chopping block, and, unsurprisingly, schools first looked to their non-revenue sports programs — like Cincinnati's men's soccer team.
"Without a doubt, I was going to leave once I heard the news," Robinson said. "I'm just not done with my soccer career, and that's not at all how I would want it to end for me. Other people are in different circumstances, but me going into my sophomore year, I have a lot of soccer left to play." Some in the college sports world are skeptical that such drastic measures as cutting teams was a necessary step
