UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Penn State, Intercollegiate Athletics and the Men's Tennis program have accepted today's sanctions from the NCAA. As we join the entire Penn State community in keeping the victims in our thoughts, the Men's Tennis program plans to move forward and show the country what an amazing university and community we have here at Penn State. A portion of today's rulings states `No current sponsored athletic team may be reduced or eliminated in order to fund this fine.' This means the Olympic Sports here at Penn State are under sound financial parameters, exempt from being eliminated or decreased in anyway. The goals of our program have not changed and these sanctions do nothing to alter them: We will strive as a program to produce the best citizens, students and athletes that we can so that they can best serve society after they graduate as Nittany Lions.
Sincerely,
Coach Jeff Zinn
