University of Washington is cutting both their men's and women's swimming programs. I hope that the people who do their Masters training there aren't affected. Usually, it's the men's program that gets cut. But, here, they cut both of the swimming programs.

Revenue, expenses, etc. for every NCAA school can be found here:http://ope.ed.gov/athletics/
Look at the attached data I downloaded. In 2007, the Washington football program generated $37,092,611 in total revenue and had $17,202,549 in total expenses. Washington State, a comparably miserable program right now had $13,469,260 in total football revenue with $8,274,189 in total football expenses.
Bottom line that's a healthy profit from both.
Then why are they cutting swimming??? It can't be a revenue issue, it seems pretty cost efficient to me. Are they cutting golf or softball or tennis?? Do the expenses also include the cost of facilities? or the cost of scholarships
