Support UNI Baseball

Remember a while back how we told you about this year's first athletic screwjob...?
The University of Northern Iowa baseball team...


They had just lost to Arkansas-Little Rock and then, Happy Monday!!! You're done at the end of the season... unless you can fill an incredibly tough demand from your Athletic Director...

The University was claiming the economic climate was "forcing" cuts in the program, so they decided on baseball. It was the only way to keep the integrity of their Title IX percentage and save money at the same time...

Right...

So the demand...???
Raise $1.2-million by April 5th...

That $1.2 gets them a three-year reprieve, but in that three years they have to raise $10-million to permanently endow the program.


Gee, thanks...


Well, here's the website they've set up for the cause... supportunibaseball.com


So, go ahead...
Support UNI Baseball... and thumb your nose at the Athletic Department as a whole...
