That would be a pity given how much opportunity/coaching DCU have gave to good young athletes over the past 2 decades allowing them stay in Ireland as opposed to going to the US.

There's a petition started to try and help reverse the decision at:

Can you provide more information on the reasons that DCU made this decision? Are they looking for a fresh approach?

"a new direction for sport"

Sounds like the position rather than the person is being removed

Imagine the DCU athletics scholarships could make way for other sports as they adopt similar approaches as the likes of UCD or the other NUI's.
