California, Clarion and Edinboro recently merged to become PennWest. Enrollments are still down and challenges remain.

Will their athletic teams compete separately?

The article talks about each campus maintaining "individual identities" including colors,logos and mascots.

I know at this year's NCAA wrestling tournament they referred to "Edinboro".

They're still the " Edinboro Fighting Scots" on their web site.

From other articles I’ve read, it appears that football and basketball are safe for now at each campus.
Other sports have been cut. If they can stop the plummeting enrollment numbers.
