| 2 | Allison Brennan | As a former player and 2006 captain of Ohio Women's Lacrosse, I pledge that I will continue to fight these decisions until the student athletes have their voices heard and considered and are treated with the same respect they gave to Ohio University. |
| 3 | kate lynes | I know this is a normal occurance at colleges across the country but the ramifications to those involved is devistating in all aspects of life. It is a chain reaction that not only affects individuals but families, usually for the worse. It would behove those involved if all sports could be cut in some way as to maintain the present ones. |

| 7 | Rick Kazakls | These cuts have had a devistating effect on all the athletes involved. There is no reason why these 100 athletes must suffer the consequences of mis-management by the administration and athletic department. They don't deserve this. |

| 10 | ann kazaks | This has put my daughter and my family under far too much stress than any college student should have to bear. When teams are cut, they are usually those with declining interest, not with a huge increase in interest. You have ruined many lives Mr. Hocutt, and you have not a care at all about the students you have hurt |

| 12 | anne moelk | There are other alternatives to cutting these teams. It might mean that EVERY team will have to tighten their spending belt and maybe even give up a coach or two (do you really need 4 paid coaches for a roster of 12 players?)
Ohio could be the leader in doing the right thing- this is what they would ask of their student athletes! |

| 23 | Susan Sanders | This is outrageous! My daughter played lacrosse at OU for 4 years and it was a main reason she chose the school. I wonder why you lured the current players there under the premise that they could play on a Div. 1 team all the while knowing what was going to happen. What about the athletes that picked OU over other schools? What should they do now??
As everyone seems to be asking, how did this deficit come about and go on for so long??? Why was this not discussed with the entire athletic dept. in hopes that a solution and/or help could be found??? |

| 26 | Megan Sanders | In the best interest of the university, its student athletes, coaches, alumni and community of supporters, please consider reversing the cuts made to four varsity athletic programs. Give those directly affected a chance for their thoughts, concerns and ideas to be heard. Make these athletes proud they chose Ohio University and for the right reasons. |

| 30 | Gwyneth Gallapoo | It's a shame and embarrassment that OU decided to cut the fastest growing sport in the nation and in the state. |

| 33 | Lisa Mitchelides | Woman's lacrosse is the fastest growing sport in the US and has afforded over 55 girls' in the last three years to go on to college lacrosse from the State of Ohio. OU's decision was a huge disappointment and a giant step back when everyone is moving forward. They really need to relook at their decision. Currently the # of teams within the state are multiplying faster than any other sport and more girl's are paticipating from all economics backgrounds. |

| 36 | Gabby Sinmaz | please don't shatter the dreams of the current and future players...this is a huge loss for the State of Ohio.... |

| 38 | Karen Post | I understand the business part of college sports, but to make a decision without the input of the stakeholders is unacceptable. The girls on the Lacrosse team are a rare group of bright, mature and promising women. The other sad part is the extremely poor way this was handled for all the sports involved. Ohio Lacrossse you are a class act! |
| 39 | Doreen Hamilton | Ohio University will Suffer in it's recuiting efforts for years if the happens. No SERIOUS Female swimmer will look at OU, No serious Female Track & field athlete, and Every Athlete for years will avoid it. The move could spell the downfall of Sports programs at OU. |

| 44 | Anna Piontek | We have a high school sophomore daughter who plays lacrosse in Ohio and OU is one of the schools she is considering. Why would you cancel a sport that is growing in our area? |
