MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) - Three West Virginia University athletic
teams face scholarship losses next season for failing to meet NCAA
academic standards.
Teams falling short of the minimum 925 score in the annual
academic progress report released Tuesday are men's soccer (898),
wrestling (905) and women's rowing (919).
The NCAA says all three of the WVU sports will have scholarships
reduced.
The report shows West Virginia and Tennessee are the only teams
in the Bowl Championship Series subdivision with more than one
athletic team that fell short of mandates.
