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.
We swam UW twice--no diving boards, so we couldn't take the diving points
I think about the only major renovation done to the pool in the last 70 years was removing the boards at some point. I can still see the places in the deck where the boards were once mounted. Possibly the final dual meet (although I wouldn't want to bet on it) swum in that pool was last year between the UW and WSU women's teams. There was a scheduling conflict with the King County Aquatic Center pool, otherwise it would have been held there. They started the races from the (4 foot deep) shallow end, which is pretty rare these days!
