Nova Southeastern Suspends Women’s Rowing Program Indefinitely

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Nova Southeastern University has announced it will suspend the women’s rowing program indefinitely starting with the 2020-21 academic year. The institution will continue to sponsor 16 NCAA Division II sports, including 14 within the Sunshine State Conference.
 
Statement from Director of Athletics Michael Mominey
“It is an understatement to say that this was very difficult decision for all involved. We are also mindful and empathetic of the consequences that this decision has and will have. Our focus right now is the current student-athletes, the alums and the staff who have been directly affected. The student-athletes and coaches who have represented NSU rowing since the inception of the program, have been true ambassadors, true leaders and true champions of the university who will always be celebrated within the NSU Athletics family.”
 
 
The university and  NSU Department of Athletics will honor the athletic scholarships for all current women’s rowing student-athletes through the completion of their undergraduate degree.
