Stillman axes athletic events

TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- Stillman College plans to cancel many non-conference athletic events and play only Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference contests, the school announced on its website Thursday.

“Like most private institutions around the country, Stillman Athletics acknowledges the financial challenges facing the college at this time and has embarked upon cost-saving measures,” a message on the Stillmanathletics.com website said. “These measures included the cancellation of non-conference events and do not jeopardize the postseason eligibility of the Tigers and Lady Tigers.”

Neither Stillman President Peter Millet nor Cassandra Moorer, the school's interim athletics director, were available for comment. Moorer was named interim athletics director last August.

Stillman's 2015 football schedule has not been released, but no games are expected to be canceled. .
