We already have the pool. How much would you really save

Probably more than $1 million per year

Swimming does NOT have a million dollar budget.

Also eliminating women’s swimming would actually HURT the department’s title 9 progress.

If any sport is eliminated, it would most likely be Wrestling. Their budget is most likely the third highest men’s budget and they have a large roster.

Wrestling & volleyball will both compete in the be Jarrett gymnasium once complete. They aren’t going anywhere. If anything, they may realign conference affiliation to reduce travel. But for those that think we’re cutting sports, you’re going to be sorely disappointed. It’s not in the school’s or department’s best interest...
