2057 Kella PriceIt's a shame that the school could not continue to support its lacrosse program, when lacrosse is the oldest American sport!

2066 Megan L WionI swam for four years on the OU Women's Swimming and Diving Team. I believe that by cutting the Men's Team the Women's team will be hurt as well. Training with men boosted the competition of the women and helped with overall team morale - for both the men's and the women's teams.

2082 Maureen HaddadPlease do not cut the Men's Swimming and Diving Program.
2083 Stacy BrennanI am appalled that you would consider dropping these programs when these kids could have gone elsewhere . Let them finish out their college careers. Do not just focus on football. There are phenomenol athletes in these other sports also. Please give them a chance.

2091 Eileen TecceAll athletes should have the opportunity to participate in their designated sport in college. As a parent of a son that is a high school football player and a daughter that is a swimmer, I have repeatedly seen the amount of discipline and dedication that is needed for both of them to succeed in their sport as well as in academics. This discipline will last for the rest of their lives as they pursue their careers or humanitarian efforts after college. Although, the football program may generate more revenue and recognition for your school, I have seen many more fine examples of genuine student athletes in swimming than I have seen in the football world. I urge you to reconsider this decision based soley on money and to look at the total picture of what these other sports can generate - successful human beings that we can proud of in our future.

2100 Raymond WiseMy daughter was a 2007 recruit and her choice came down to OU and another school. Her decision was a difficult one but she chose the other school. The reason she had such a hard time deciding was because of Allison and the girls. Allison is not only a great coach but also an outstanding person. Allison’s first priority seemed to always be her players. During the two visits my daughter took to OU, the girls could not have made her feel more at home. I wish all the best of luck to both Allison and the girls.
