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.
The answer is to dump football--the supposed money getter for the AD.
That's what I'd opt for. Football, not Title IX, is the chief culprit. Athletic departments are really just becoming football departments nowadays. Forget the concept of "athletes."
My college cut both men's and women's swimming a few years ago. It was reinstated with an alumni endowment.
I feel bad for the athletes who will have to transfer if they wish to continue swimming. Notice that the form letter was not even signed by the football-loving AD.
