Reply to "What's going on with Pennsylvania college baseball?"

I've tried to stay out of these types of threads ever since getting dragged down a rabbit hole back in March.

The answer is easy = MONEY

Just ask someone in the general population to name a college athletic program that plays in PA. Guarantee you'll get Penn State Football program as the number 1 answer (close 2nd is Villanova Basketball program with it's recent success). My point is, when the program is costing the University money it's not hard to understand why it is cut. Take a bunch of administrators (and bean counters) who have no real vested interest in a sport costing them money, and then mix in financial uncertainty with a dash of heated politics and you get the headline
