Refund. I am involved in fundraising for one of the cut sports to keep them alive as a club so I am going to focus my $ there. They need it more than football or Buck/Cardinal. It is a matter of survival for that sport.

That was my original plan, but I decided (perhaps naively) to give the administration a chance to "do the right thing" and give the programs that were cut a chance to preserve themselves.  If they stick with the "we had to do it for financial reasons, but there is no amount of money that can change our minds" nonsense, the University has just seen my last donation (after nearly 3 decades of continuous loyalty): I'm rolling the FB ticket cost to next season, and converted my preferred seating donation to an outright Buck/Cardinal donation for this year... largely for the reasons that Farm93 noted (and because I want them to be rewarded for - hopefully - reconsidering a decision that seems to have been made in haste).
