The private California university has suspended athletic activities until further notice, leaving the future of its sports programs uncertain.
Cresmont University is suspending all athletic activities until further notice, according to an internal email obtained by Softball On SI.
Formerly known as California InterContinental University, Cresmont emailed student-athletes at 12:24 p.m. Tuesday, notifying them that it ended its contract with the third-party company tasked with running the athletic department and that all athletic activities, including practices, games, and organized team activities were suspended, effective immediately.
The university released a public statement Tuesday evening via social media, stating it was terminating the athletic programs.
The announcement came just two months into the academic year, and the first year for its three women’s sports, which included softball, volleyball and soccer. Crestmont’s three men’s programs, soccer, basketball and baseball, competed during the 2025-26 academic year.
