As of 8:10am this morning one of the finer programs in the country is lost due to "budgetary" problems.
No one saw it coming and they just recently signed some top level recruits that gave them one of the top 3 recruiting classes in the country.
I sure hope that the athletes didn't find out THROUGH EMAIL that thier program was cut. What a steaming pile of horsecrap. Oh yeah, this wasn't a hasty decision, nope, they looked hard and long at other alternatives, uh-huh.
What is it about swimming that makes people think it is an easy target? Cancel programs, close pools, disband teams. It seems to be the target of choice as of late. It's disheartening.
