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.
For those who love conspiracy theories a good one being discussed at workout today is the standing offer that the University has to buy the Mona Plummer complex and tea it down to extend mixed use retail/condo's from Mill Ave....this same developed already purchased the old ROTC building across the street and its scheduled to be developed soon.
The University/athletic department already have plans completed for the new pool on the east side of campus....problem is that the offer the developer came in was such a lowball that it wouldn't cover the cost of building the new pool which is what they asked for.
So, with a major budget crunch and the possibility of actually making money vs. continuing to lose it on W's swimming, M's/W's diving and W's water polo...what are the chances aquatics are cut entirely in the next few years?
