I'm not sure about the rest of the SEC, but the last sport Auburn cut was Wrestling because of Title 9. It was a shame too, because Auburn's Wrestling team was usually top 5 and had been competitive at the highest level for a couple of decades when it was dropped.

When was that though? And I notice Auburn has an equestrian team now too.

Somehow UVA has been building top tier facilities and our nonrevenues thriving through all of this. Makes me thankful for our AD (and the alums that are making it happen).

Auburn lost wrestling in the Summer of 1976 and yes the Equestrian Team is doing quite well. I was sorry to see wrestling go, but Title 9 brought us Women's basketball with three 2nd place finishes, Women's swimming & diving with National Titles, an up and coming Softball program, good Gymnastics so there has been a lot of upside too.
