| OLIVER "BUDDY" POUGH HEAD FOOTBALL COACH SOUTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY |
ORANGEBURG, South Carolina -- Two of South Carolina State’s most visible coaches are taking a wait-and-see approach to news that their programs may face significant cuts after a university budget proposed Tuesday showed extensive cost-reduction measures.
“At this point, I’m just waiting to see what the final determination is,” Coach Buddy Pough said Wednesday. “I’m still trying to get the best information. We just have to remember nothing is final at this point. There are some things that the board still has to work on.”
Murray Garvin, head men’s basketball coach, echoed his football counterpart’s thoughts.
“It hasn’t happened yet,” Garvin said. “I have confidence in our administration, and at this point, I’m hopeful things work out for the best.”
The university administration’s proposed education and general budget, which has supported athletics in the past, does not fund any sports programs for 2015-16. The budget sets out to cut spending by 20 percent, including $2.5 million in athletic scholarships.
