Towson cuts baseball, so baseball team blacks out logo

Article here. Excerpt:

'Towson University won't support its baseball program. For the team, the feeling is mutual.

On Mar. 8, during a hastily called conference with players from both teams, Towson president Maravene Loeschke announced that the school, following the recommendation of athletic director Mike Waddell, would be cutting both its baseball and men's soccer programs as a cost-saving measure.

In response, the baseball program – currently 8-7, 1-2 in Colonial Athletic Association play – has chosen to wear strips of black tape over the "Towson" logo on the front of its jerseys, a symbolic gesture meant to display its displeasure over the school's decision.

"We don't support Towson," catcher Zach Fisher told Baltimore's ABC affiliate (video above), "so we don't wear something that says Towson."'
