The NCAA has suspended Arkansas player Aurelija Miseviciute for one year because it has been confirmed that she played professionally as a teenager. The suspension comes at a time when there have been numerous articles and inquiries involving the amateur status of foreign college tennis players. It began with a NY Times article with NCAA Champion Benedikt Dorsch holding a check in 2003 for prize money and has blossomed into multiple investigations. In fact, Vanderbilt's chancellor spoke out publicly to urge the NCAA to toughen its rules on amateurism.

College advocates have been doing their best to save tennis programs that have been marked to close. While a $18,000 check to the University of New Hampshire was said to not be enough to make a dent in what was needed, the University of Rhode Island program was saved. The fight to save the University of Colorado program continues with a website dedicated to the cause. You can read more about their efforts in Peter Dopkin's article on Tennis.com
