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 was attempting to turn the discussion back to sports because this is a swim forum, not a forum to debate larger social issues. In an issue as complex as the reasons why a prominent school drops a sports team, larger issues come into play. Most ppl don't know that Title IX isn't just about sports. Title IX shows that sports fit in a much larger landscape. Don't tell me to shut up again, Carlos. It's really unnecessarily rude. I think it's equally rude to misrepresent what someone says, especially when that misrepresentation attempts to portray someone (me) as straight out of the Cro Magnon age. I really took offense to you claiming that I was advocating undergrads getting pregnant and that I was stereotyping women. I was just advocating a position and perhaps playing devil's advocate. As is evident from your last few posts, you flipped out. Pot. Kettle. Kettle. Pot. I know my posts were lengthy, but nowhere did I say the things you accused me of saying. You skimmed my posts, flipped out and projected what you wanted to on them. Sorry for telling you to shut up.
