Whitewater Athletics Brace for User Fee Impact
Whitewater athletic director Forrest Perkins warned the WSUC could be ruined if a state user fee for intercollegiate sports is adopted. He cited budget gaps, possible cuts of five Warhawk coaches, termination notices for Crogan Wise and others, and the cancellation of an 11th football game with Northern Iowa. Perkins pledged to fight to preserve programs and even suggested leaving WSUC if needed to save athletics.
