I get sick and tired of people blaming women's athletics for the cutting of men's programs....
UT has a lot to be proud of with their well rounded sports program, despite employing Mack Brown.
(That turncoat...)
I agree with geek and I blame schools' inordinate fondness for football. Seriously: look at the number of scholarships and athletes and other resources are devoted to that bloated monstrosity (basketball and even baseball are positively sleek by comparison).
I applaud the goal of balance. It is the schools decision on how to address that balance. I believe a lot of football programs lose money for smaller schools (and even for many large ones). I like the sport just fine but do not think it is any more important than any other sport. I think a lot of schools have no business fielding a football team. They will argue that it helps alumni giving but I think that is hogwash.
But it would take a very strong-willed university president to cut college football, since s/he would take a lot of flak. Even so, schools could implement a few large girls sports (field hockey comes to mind, I'm sure there are others) but they choose not to do so.
