2 more universities ditch swimming

I just heard that two more universities, Rutgers and James Madison, are ditching men's swimming while spending zillions on football and golf. My own alma mater almost cut women's swimming several years ago. They were saved by alumni fundraising, but not until the swim team put itself up for sale on ebay. Endurance sports get no respect. It makes no sense. I thought open water swimming and triathlons and road racing were on the rise even among young kids. If so, why cut all those sports in college? I guess it's still just a miniscule percentage that participate compared to other sports, like my least favorite youth sport -- travel soccer.

  • I helped indoctrinate my boys about swimmer girls! I always liked them, even with broad shoulders. Not the 70s-era East Germans though. No muffin tops on the girls my boys seem to like..... I do think many girls like the looks of swimmer boys. They like lean bodies with broad shoulders and bleached out hair. That was my boy, now his hair is a lot darker, it was white blonde.
