I heard from an insider that a major US post collegiate training group will be closing up at the end of this year. Not sure if it is true so I wanted to see if anyone else has heard any rumors?

Probably someone that is 100% dependent on a shoe company.
Zap--doubt it. They are supported by their camp.
Hansons--doubt it. They are supported by stores.
Hudson--Not sure how they are supported.
My bet is Nike is cutting back on one of their programs.

They shut down last year.
I think it may be the Reebok Enclave, also heard rumors about the Farm Team.

Only adding training groups out this way.

Yup, much easier to brain wash HS kids. No success at all with the post collegiate group.
Not the level of a NOP group, but certainly moving in the right direction.
1/10 Sour grapes.

Many of those records are from 2011, not much going in the right direction. Take away Hannah davidson and what have you got?
Reality?
Not sure your point is relevant. The group has never reported large numbers to its supported squad. For those with good ability on the roster at a given moment, it brings to success. The records don't lie. Whether it is one, or one hundred, runners with Krifchin/Davidson ability, the program is bringing its top runners to a higher level.
Krifhcin was the the group's star in 2011-12. Now it is Davidson. When Stotan started up, they were solely a road group. Looks more diverse and well rounded now, with track performances on mens and womens side. Would expect Davidson to start knocking off some good road results this summer and fall. Doesn't seem like their system has changed, nor does it have to. Putting their efforts into ensuring their very best athletes fulfill their potential. Having one star isnt a good point. They've always had one star. Now it looks like they've got one star, with some additional backup posting solid results. Going in the right direction.
I wouldn't call Stotan a major training group.
Could it be one of Nike's groups? Maybe they'll roll the NOP and OTC into one. Or the OP could just tell us what he heard.
Hasn't Gags already retired once? So NJTC is the only 'major' one that I can see dissolving anytime soon.
I know Bowerman AC and Jerry's Kids are now kinda under the same umbrella, so I'm not sure if that's the same thing.
This sounds familiar.

Could it be the same BS speculation as this?

OP is trolling yall.
The easiest way to figure it out is to look at groups that have not added anyone over the last year and start losing athletes. This was the case at McMillan for about 2 years.
I heard Alberto has always wanted to go back home to Boston where all of his people are. Now that Alberto has coached a few medals, Phil is in complete agreement and is happy to fund the relocation. The tiff with Jerry moved up the date before 2015 Worlds of Beijing instead of after.
I wish it was Team in Training. The Scientology of running groups.
Alberto has lived in Oregon since 1976. Trust me, Alberto is not melloncolly for the East Coast.
My guess is OTC Elite. They don't have any studs left after Symmonds left. Mostly second tier mid distance guys now. Nike probably wants to focus resources on NOP and BTC (Jerry).
