That's going to have some interesting implications on athletics. First of all there will be no more "Keelhaulers", unless they're tired of the Mustangs. Get your Keelhaulers merchandise while you still can.

Next, most of the prospective CSU Maritime athletes would lose their spots with their redundant programs eliminated, and most likely they won't have the athletic talent to compete for spots at the D-I level. Those NAIA spots will just vanish.

Maybe their sailing, crew, and rugby teams will survive in Vallejo, as SLO doesn't currently sponsor those. Or SLO may just shutter those, as they would represent a big increase to their athletics budget.

Rugby is difficult to classify. A handful of schools put their rugby team in their interscholastic sports program, but most schools place rugby in the club sports box. Cal Maritime and Cal are two schools that do put rugby in the athletic department. I can't think of others that do. It may do a lot for finances, admissions, bragging, but in the end they play club teams. The NCAA does not sanction rugby.

Cal Poly SLO has a club rugby team. They are usually pretty good.

It's surprising to me that Cal Maritime has financial difficulties. It is the only maritime academy on the west coast. As I recall it has a very high job placement rate.
