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.
I don't particularly follow college (or other) sports, but it seems to me M. Phelps could be of help here if he got out of the "pose and promote" mode and spent a few weeks traveling around to select college campuses giving talks in praise of swimming, with ticket fees from the enormous crowds dedicated to keeping swimming programs going for another year or so.
He can't do it single-handledly, of course. Maybe Frazz? :)
(Nice comic in today's paper praising Mrs. Volckening's oatmeal cookies:
Kid: "I'm impressed. Every year you go to Masters swim meets knowing you're going to get crushed."
Frazz: "A small price to pay for improvement. ... Also, Mrs. Volckening brings oatmeal cookies.")
