For curiousity, I wonder what percentage of NCAA Division I pools have a 50m pool. The AD cited the primary reason for dropping swimming is because they can't compete if they don't have a 50m pool. I have a feeling the AD was just grasping for straws and came up with that reason because he was too much of a coward to admit the real reason. That argument can not in itself justify a decision to stop teaching life through high performance sport, which should be the number one reason for committing to college sports program at the first place.
Very sad.
