Reshaping Athletics
To provide the best student-athlete experience possible, adapt to the quickly evolving NCAA landscape, and ensure continued equal opportunities and access, LMU has made the difficult decision to discontinue six intercollegiate programs at the end of the 2023-24 competitive seasons.
The six intercollegiate sports that will be discontinued are: men’s cross country, men’s rowing, men’s track and field, women’s rowing, women’s swimming and women’s track and field.
Announced on Jan. 23, 2024, these changes will enable LMU Athletics to concentrate its resources on remaining programs, enabling the university to position its sports for greater successes in the future.
LMU is providing significant resources to assist impacted students, including honoring their athletic financial aid if they remain at LMU. Under the supervision of LMU Student Affairs, the university continues to offer club sports competition options. LMU Athletics will also assist those students who choose to transfer to continue their collegiate athletic careers.
