Another college has decided to cut men's swimming. Rutgers Board of Governors voted this morning to eliminate 6 sports (5 of them men's), including men's swimming.

What a sad day.
That is really to bad about this. I wonder how they determine what sports get cut? I swam at the pool at the 2003 LC Nationals and it was a nice sports complex. The only thing I remember that was weird about the meet was the confusion to find the place once you were on campus because of all the construction. As a swimmer at the meet, we were very lucky because we were only within miles of the power grid failure and that would have probably cancelled the meet mid way thru.
The coach there (Chuck Warner) wrote a great book about swimming called "Four Champions and One Gold Medal" about 7 years ago and I believe you can still get it. Its a great book about the time when the USA had the greatest distance swimmers in the World. At least they still have the Women's program.
