As of Tuesday, Illinois State Athletics announced that they will be discontinuing the mens tennis team after this 2026 season. It was announced to players after the end of their post season. The press release from isu athletics said the announcement also allows student athletes time to decide if they want to enter the transfer portal, which opens may fourth.

“The underclassmen now, they’re facing a decision no one wants to face, they either stay here and just study, or they transfer and play tennis somewhere else, this can be especially hard for international students. So it takes a bit more time to adjust then I would say for Americans, so I would say the emotions are a bit higher then for the Americans the bonding moments will also be lost with the disbandment,” graduating senior Tin Ostro said.

Though the mens team will not be returning in the fall, the women’s team will be in full action for the 2026-2027 school year. At the Gregory Street Tennis Courts
