Maine will suspend its volleyball and men's soccer programs, effective June 30, 2009. Individual UMaine units -- including the athletics department -- are responsible for developing budget reductions accounting for $7 million of the total, for annual budgets beginning July 1, 2009. The athletics department's share of that cut is $253,000, an amount based on its allocation of the university's base budget. All factors combined create an overall athletics department budget shortfall of $871,000 for the next year.
