2253 William E OpaskaSwimming builds many life skills. Swimmers are better students and more productive adults than almost any other athletic endeavor. Swimming is not facing a steriod or other drug problem as are most other collegiate sports. Eliminating swimming is both an athletic and academic mistake.

2264 Audrey GlickmanThe broader an education, the better. The healthier the body, the healthier the mind. Therefore, why cut these programs?

2271 Mike LloydAs a former college gymnast, I have witnessed the unintended consequences of Title IX. It does nothing for women's sports to eliminate nonrevenue men's sports. Good luck - Mike

2274 Joe BalabanSports grow the student. They teach discipline and focus. The sports you chose to cut are basic and can be enjoyed to one' physical benefit throughout a lifetime. Please reconsider.
2275 AnonymousPlease do not cut the teams! These are vital to individual and team accomplishments and continued self- improvement and esteem. There are wills and ways other than Title money to provide these services. Team fundraising is one way. Team sponsors are others. Please do not take more away from these young men and women!

2294 Rose SchumacherHold a Bachelors Degree and one of my biggest regrets is that my college did not have a track team. It is a great sport. My son currently runs track. OU could lose some valuable recruits it they cut track. Please keep track!!!!
2295 John TrocherKirby Hocutt, you just couldn't understand or appreciate the sport of lacrosse. OU put more effort and research into restarting the sport in 1999 than you did in terminating it. The former athletics staff recruited some outstanding players that led the NCAA stats, built a class lax field, and was a founding member of the most competitive lax conference in the country -- with OU's own Peggy Pruitt as the commissioner of the ALC. OU was joined in the ALC by Ohio's other, better known sports school in Columbus, and Johns Hopkins, as well as other lax schools that also play football -- Penn State, Vanderbilt, Northwestern (NCAA lax champ last 2 years), and newest member University of Florida. Perhaps OU's spot can be taken by the newest lax school, South Carolina? Kirby, how does it feel to be on the other end of a trend? You've just discarded a lot of positive momentum, awareness and goodwill, but then you will mosy likely move on in a few years anyway.
