Last Tuesday, players, coaches and fans of the Montana State University-Billings men’s soccer program received some terrible news.
The program is going away.
After a successful run that started in 1996, the school’s administration decided that the NCAA Division II program will play no more games. The school said it will honor the scholarships of the student-athletes on the team. However, it will no longer honor their dreams to compete in soccer for the Yellowjackets.
Coach Paul Cuevas said he received word of the program’s ending about a half hour before his players. He said he had no indication that the program was in trouble. Members of the MSUB administration declined comment. They did send a statement that can be found on ButteCast.com.
Listen in to hear the reaction of Coach Cuevas as well as the reaction from former MSUB soccer player Kevin Petritz.
