After months of speculation University of Minnesota officials announced today they will merge the men's and women's Intercollegiate Athletics departments. They also announced they will recommend eliminating three non-revenue generating sports programs, though a final decision isn't expected until June. University President Mark Yudof says the search for a new athletic director will begin immediately. Meanwhile, head coaches from vulnerable sports programs say they're hoping to save their teams.
