Rowing in Arizona, AState, and New Mexico are only htere so that those schools can rationalize spending so much of their budget on football. I have a brother-in-law who went to Arizona State inthe sixties. he used to support the baseball team. He played there. When they asked him for money to update women's sport facilities, he stopped donating money.
If Illinois is going to restart its men's swimming program, it will take a lot of work. From Galesburg, we have had several top swimmers over the years go to Notre Dame, Western Ill., and West Point. Most though go to Div II or III schools because life is much better at them than at U of I. It would be great to have men's swimmiing here though. i wonder if that's why they've been spending so much money onthe pool at IMPE?
