High Point University has suspended its men's and women's tennis programs.
"Our primary goal in the High Point University Athletic Department as well as the University as a whole is to provide all of our students with an extraordinary educational experience," said athletic director Craig Keilitz."While the decision to suspend one of our athletic programs was a very difficult one, it was a step that we felt necessary as we continue the critical evaluation of our entire athletic department."
"This decision is not meant to devalue or diminish the dedication, ability or effort of these student-athletes, coaches and alumni. All of them have made great contributions to High Point University athletics and to the history and legacy of the University."
Players will be eligible to transfer to other NCAA Division I schools and will be allowed to play immediately.
