COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Four South Carolina colleges have received

athletic scholarship reductions after the NCAA released its latest

academic progress report.

The cuts were announced Tuesday.

The College of Charleston lost scholarships in men's basketball

and baseball. South Carolina lost a scholarship in men's

basketball, but its athletic department says the team played with

one fewer scholarships a year ago and will have a full 13 next

fall.

The men's outdoor track team at Coastal Carolina was docked part

of a scholarship.

Winthrop's men's cross country team was also penalized part of a

scholarship.
