The facility is good enough. If it wasn't good enough how would they be able to have a women's program? They won't save much money either, since they have to pay a coach and pool maintenance for the women's team. The only expenditures that are cut are the men's coaches salaries, a few schollies and travel expenses for the men's team.
My guess is that they save $225,000 per year tops, which is about what they pay an assistant football coach.
I think probably when they fired their football coach last year w/o cause they were stuck paying his salary AND the new coach's salary as well. Because of that fiasco the Clemson Athletic Dept. is probably over budget.
Clemson swimmers should file an OPRA reguest, get the financial records and do the math.:2cents:
