ASU Men's Swimming/Diving Cut

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 hope you had a nice time hurling all the insults. Perhaps you could tone it down a bit and stop calling people idiots? I was attempting to turn the discussion back to sports because this is a swim forum, not a forum to debate larger social issues. You could start a discussion in the NSR section on non-swimming related issues of Title IX. Don't tell me to shut up again, Carlos. It's really unnecessarily rude. Or take your own advice. I was just advocating a position and perhaps playing devil's advocate. That happens on the forum; I'm not required to respond directly to every little thing you say or agree with you based on your supposed superior reasoning. No "male privilege" rights. As is evident from your long-winded posts, you just flipped out and launched into an unrelated tirade. Perhaps you can hit the pool to calm down. And for the record, I personally do not know of a single 18-22 year old traditional undergraduate at an elite school that needs daycare, as you previously said. I know very many that play sports. I understand you know a lot about education, but you don't know everything. Interviews with women at your school in Oakland can't necessarily be extrapolated to the world at large. And I never said you were "Cro-Magnon," nor implied it. You erroneously construed it as a personal attack. I'm perfectly within my rights to support women's undergraduate sports, as you are within your rights to support increased day care. I don't want to return to the prior status quo with respect to women's collegiate sports when football scholarships can easily be capped. Perhaps that money can also pay for some of the other programs you champion.
