Sonoma State University announced the elimination of all athletic programs due to a nearly $24 million budget deficit, prompting disappointment among coaches and players. NBA player Jaylen Wells, an alumnus of the university, is raising awareness for the #SaveSeawolvesAthletics movement through his social media presence. He hopes to leverage his platform to prevent these cuts, showing solidarity with his former coach and team. Coaches, like Rich Shayewitz, express heartbreak over the situation as they fight to preserve the university's athletic legacy.
To hear the tradition is ending, it's disheartening it's heartbreaking, said Shayewitz.
I don't know exactly what I can do to help at the moment, but I was just trying to bring awareness to it, said Wells.
