Lee College board to decide fate of athletics tonight
The Lee College Board of Regents will hear two recommendations on the LC athletics program at 7 30 p m in the Moody Center. The Blue Ribbon Committee calls for eliminating the basketball dormitory and offering scholarships as books tuition and fees only, with a housing stipend to a portion of athletes. If approved, volleyball stipends would be canceled and scholarship equality extended across all sports.
