I don’t know about this particular case, but a lot of college sports programs for men are ended because the law requires that an equal sum be spent on women’s sports (even if there are not enough women interested in sports to justify equal expenditures).

Male sports that are not money-makers are thus dropped.

Some are then re-established as “clubs”, which receive no college monies but which can use college facilities.

This is called “progress”, “justice”, “equality”, and a variety of other things to make it sound like it is not
simply what it is, “stupid”...

I think the law requires an equal number of athletes. They've been careful not to step on football, because at places like Michigan, Ohio State, SoCal, Texas, Florida, etc., the football program funds all the other sports, and they usually spend more on football than all the other sports combined.

A lot of colleges started women's rowing teams, because they're inexpensive, nobody cares if they win, and they can get girls to sign up for the exercise and free scholarships.

Besides, I'd rather see a women's wrestling team than a men's team. Heck, guys pay a lot of money to see that.

All these schools need to do is OPEN the sport to women. I’m sure plenty of women out there want to be wrestlers ~ see how they hang so cleverly to the barstools while balancing Shriley Temples in their fingers. You can do that you can wrestle Fur Shur.
