The University’s administration has made the decision to maintain NCAA Division I-A status to offer a full, “major” university experience to all students as well as college opportunities for the 450-plus student-athletes who have chosen the University of Nevada, Reno as a place to study because of the existence of athletic programs. University of Nevada, Reno student-athletes have met or exceeded the Academic Progress Rate standard set by the NCAA in every sport for the past three years and represent the only university in the Western Athletic Conference to accomplish this feat. Intercollegiate athletics is a strategic part of the University of Nevada, Reno. It should also be noted that intercollegiate athletics, in previous rounds of budget cuts, has reduced the number of sports it offers as well as staff.
