UNCW Athletic Director Jimmy Bass said the intercollegiate athletics budget is in the best shape that it has been in over the past eight years, but not much has been explained as to how the budget was balanced. In order to balance the budget, certain programs within the athletic department had to be minimized or diminished to leave room for growth.With this knowledge, over the past three years UNCW’s Athletic Department has attempted to cut certain sports in order to balance the budget. When asked how the department planned to budget in the future, Bass mentioned raising more resources from private sources, like the Seahawk Club. Overall, current stability from a balanced budget does not count out instability from previous poor budgets and conservative budgeting.
