And rugby gets reassigned to "varsity club" status- which means that they have to raise their own funds... rugby is only the most successful sport in university history...
163 athletes are affected as the school is cutting four million dollars from their budgets...

We can't justify university support of athletic at the level of $10 million, $15 million or $20 million. It's just not possible," Cal Chancellor Robert Birgenau said in his dirge of a press conference.
Lyanne Melendez is in Berkeley with the bad news...
