Didn't see any mention of this elsewhere. Brown has cut a number of sports, but fortunately baseball isn't one of them:

Did see that and they actually gave a legitimate reason. They had an absurd amount of sports, the second most in the country. The AD basically came out and said we have 36 sports and aren't competitive in most. Cut the sports and put money into others that have a chance.

For those wondering why so many small schools who are terrible at sports continue to fund losing programs here is why. A large percentage of the student body is made up of athletes. Tuition money.
