Mark, I emphatically think Title IX is a sham excuse to allow Athletic Directors to duck responsibility for unpopular decisions, and we advocates of men's "minor" sports who attack Title IX have fallen for it.
Dorthy, I don't want to spread unfounded rumors, but my understanding is that there was a personality conflict between the Illinois AD and the Men's Swim Coach. Now it's darn hard to revive a men's team after it's been cut, but if the interpersonal dynamics are different, U of I could avoid that baggage. Maybe possible?
