Whittier College's football program along with several other athletic programs have been discontinued, officials announced Tuesday.
According to the statement, over the past 30 years, 14 California four-year colleges, including SCIAC rivals Occidental and CalTech, have dropped football from their intercollegiate rosters. Meanwhile, student athletes who spoke with Eyewitness News said they're disappointed by the decision."I feel mostly bad for the freshman and sophomores because they were told something and something else happened," he said.
Jeanne Warme, a parent of a freshman and a sophomore on the lacrosse team, said her son felt responsible because he encouraged his brother to join lacrosse. "They've been reviewing this process for three years. I find it a little hard to believe that it was within the last week where they decided that they were going to cut the men's lacrosse program after this season," Coco said.
