I was looking for why the program was being eliminated. Per NBC 7 San Diego...

“According to Wicker and de la Torre, a number of factors — including financial sustainability and gender equity — prompted the decision.

“The need to realign the student-athlete population to more closely resemble the overall institution gender composition was a leading factor,” their letter says. “The current financial impacts created by the COVID-19 pandemic prompted an evaluation of our sports portfolio with an eye towards the long-term success for our various sports and how to financially sustain that success.”

Starting in 2021-22, SDSU will support a dozen sports for women and six sports for men with participation rates that “closely align with the gender composition of the university’s full-time undergraduate enrollment.”

Six of those mens sports surely include Aztec football and basketball which probably subsidize other sports.

With the call being made in 2020, Covid itself could have been reason enough for there to be no senior season in her sport.
