I don't know if we can preserve all college swim teams. Some states like California even have it at the community college level. On the other hand, Cal-State Fullerton also in California no longer has a swim team, the last team was in the 1970's. They even dropped football in the early 1990's. But Fullerton is a communter school where many students have to work at least 30 hours a week and most of the students have little interest in what Fullerton does in a particular sport. Darthmouth is the tradtional elite school, where either you have a high GPA or come from a upper or higher income family background. I suppose that division 1 schools are more important to preserve their programs, yet I don't think that every college needs to have all sports at that college. Fullerton has great softball and baseball teams, yet they dropped Football, Swimming, Water Polo and Golf, sports they were not that good at.
