I really feel bad for Field Hockey more than anything. It's been a varsity sport at RU forever. Jeff Woods has poured his heart and soul into the program for decades with very limited funds and made it competitive. A truly great guy.
As for the other sports, you always hate to see this happen, but they were not Big South Sports. Hell, Field Hockey played in the NorPac (North Pacific) Conference. It's just a shame. As for the addition of football or any other sports, the writeup says there's nothing planned for the addition or subtraction of any other sports. I'd love to see football, though. RJ Kirk, help us out buddy!!!

I feel for Jeff Woods. When I was there, he was always a good guy to me in our interactions and he put his heart and soul into Radford.
Sure playing in the NorPac, I'm sure cost a lot ... but we had been in there for years and our FH program was very respectable.
Also sorry to hear about the other programs being dropped.
