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.

Not a chance, baby! I moved to this county for the public schools and have no interest in sending my kids to private schools in general and especially at $25,000 a year.
Besides, I've heard the private schools may do the same.
I find it somewhat ridiculous that most schools don't have their own swimming pools. All our high schools and even junior highs had them when I was a wee young one. Having to rent pool time, and then displacing the club teams and forcing them to practice at odd hours, blows.
A competition class indoor SCY pool can cost $7M to build. A competition LCM pool can easily cost $15M now. These are solid pools - but not an NCAA pool. That's why schools don't have them. They have to issue bonds to pay for them and voters have to approve.
In Austin - there are zero pools owned by a public school system. I keep hearing that UT quietly but forcefully discourages anyone from building a pool in Austin because UT wants the $$ from hosting meets.
San Antonio on the other hand has several, including one built recently. These are school district pools, shared by several high schools.
