Let's keep cutting men's sports. Hey.... it's the economy now, not Title IX.
I find this reasoning amusing.

Description:
Brand expects some schools to drop men's teams in coming months because
of the economic downturn. He is urging them in advance to cite the
economy, not the law that bans sex discrimination at schools receiving
federal funds.
Interesting to be at the ASU Men's Swimming fundraising dinner a couple of weeks back hosted by Amy Van Dyken, speakers including Frank Bush, Ron Johnson, Lacey Nymeyer, Phil Whitten and Jason Lezak as the keynote speaker...the emphasis was as much on saving college swimming in general as it was about helping ASU...and VERY sadly I did not see a single member of the ASU athletic department, let alone have one speak....foremost being the AD Lisa Love...even though its pretty clear that the direction for "Olympic" sports at college campuses is going to have to be self funded.
