Students at St. Cloud State University have approved an athletic fee increase, saving Husky football and other sports.
Students approved two questions to increase student athletic fees by $1.74 a credit.
Student Government President Amanda Bardonner says the two questions will nearly double athletic fees for the students, and will bring in an additional $601,000 a year.
WJON-AM reports St. Cloud State President Earl Potter addressed the student government Thursday and pledged not to cut any sports in the next two years.
