Colleges cut tennis as alums thrive in pros
Colleges are cutting tennis amid a surge of alumni success on the pro tour. Wimbledon featured a record 26 current or former college players in men's singles and nine in women's. Several programs including Prairie View A&M have dropped tennis, with others like San Francisco and UTEP facing cuts. ITA notes ongoing reductions since 2023 as schools grapple with settlement costs and rosters while supporters argue tennis remains a viable pro pathway.
