Univ. of New Hampshire is getting rid of its women's rowing. The official line is that it has to get rid of some sports so that it can get into compliance with Title IX. Really is that it is doing a big budget cut. I wonder if this is the first women's team to be axed becasue of Title IX.
I don't understand how Title IX can possibly be used for what seems to me to be a really cheap blow to many girls. Rowing is a somewhat expensive sport, lots of coaches, lots of equipment.

Can't read the article at the link. Assuming I correctly understand the facts, Jenny is exactly right and doing swimming a service.
I'm not at all impressed by the self-serving, publicity-seeking stunt UNH tried to pull. "Hey, Jenny Thompson, you'd didn't go to school here; gosh, we even eliminated our swim team, but won't you please cosy up to us for the cameras so we can convey exactly the opposite impression and gravy-train off of your fame?"
I'm glad she imformed them just how valuable their "honorary" degree is (seems to me they're trying to honor themselves most of all).
