Board of regents primer

Athletic director Mark Coyle will make a presentation, followed by questions and comments from the Regents, and then the Regents will either vote as planned, or table the measure for a future meeting.
U President Joan Gabel has recommended approving the cuts. If a simple majority of the 12-member board votes yes, the three sports will be eliminated at the end of the 2020-21 academic year. If the vote is 6-6 or has seven or more votes against, the resolution would not pass.
