| 2556 | tyler johnson | im a high school student athlete writing a research argument report, i chose my toppic to be title ix, and after much research i fell upon you website. And after reading your probalem and what other schools have done with similar problems, i feel that there are many different ways for your school to comply with title ix versus canceling a few of your sports. I know my say isn't much, but if your school board would take a serious look at other options, that it could find a fairly reasonable resolution |

| 2560 | Kenneth Krah | I was shocked to learn that Ohio U. dropped these sports programs. As a former track and cross country runner at the university, I feel particularly disappointed. I have given to various alumni and sports fund raiser drives in the past but will cease to do so. |

| 2564 | Craig Nieset | BGSU Grad 1998. We fought for 3 years and we keep dreaming that one day it will return. The AD's will get their payback in due time. Keep the dream alive. Track & Field Rules!!!! |
| 2565 | Cyndi Gretzinger | As a parent of an 11 year old son that has been swimming since he was 7 and all his plans for his future are to swim in college; it is extremely upsetting to think that by the time he actually gets to college there may not be men's swimming programs for him to swim for. I had to explain to my son that Ohio University cut their men's swimming team and he just couldn't get understand why football and basketball get all the benefits of the university system but not swimming.
I would like to see the Athletic Director and college President held up to extreme scrutiny in this situation. The entire process was so underhanded. What are we teaching kids in college these days? Have we forgot about ethics? Or do we only teach ethics in the classroom only and then on the campus they are taught by the administration an entirely new set of rules!
Reinstate the sports and fire the athletic director!! For the cost of his salary and benefits you have all the money you need to support these sports! |

| 2571 | Lis Hartke | As a parent of a potential college athlete I am glad I have seen beforehand what the ethics of Ohio University are. It is clear you are not transparent nor are you looking at the best interest of these young adults. My children (5) will not be attending your university. |
| 2572 | James Suter | It would be a crime to lose such a tradition. The swimming and diving team has some of the highest caliber students on campus. |

| 2574 | Nancy Martin | Too bad when these kids signed up for OU for their outstanding sports programs they weren't told the truth that some of these programs were in jeopardy. Sadly the kids are scrambling to find new schools, and some may not be able to continue their education for various reasons, whereas OU had met their needs be it financial, educational, or programs. Anyone checking the books to see why this is suddenly an issue? Very curious.... |

| 2576 | Anonymous | I refuse to believe that such a well-established and respected University would stoop so low as to cut their women's lacrosse program. That program was showing so much growth, in a couple of years that program could well have been a contender for the national championship. And all for a football program that no one hears or cares about. Some serious reconsideration is needed on the part of Ohio U.'s athletics program. |

| 2578 | Robin Thompson | I support all true student-athletes no matter the sport they play. I fear that in today's climate only the most visible sports (read: those viewed as most marketable) are truly valued by many. |

| 2580 | LINDA RILEY | I think sports play a very important role in education. It teaches communication, leadership, friendship, competition, just to name a few attributes. I do not think it is fair to the students and their families who have dedicated the better part of their life pursuing these sports be penalized. |

| 2593 | Kaitlin O'Hara | I just feel that there are other ways we can cut money without cutting the teams. The basketball team and football team in particular probably spend thousands more than is really necessary. Not knocking those sports, because they are equally as important. But thats the thing... EQUALLY important, these teams shouldn't be cut. |
| 2594 | Anonymous | I was extremely disappointed to hear that Ohio University was cutting these sports. I run track as a senior in high school and I love and competing. I was considering running at OU until I learned that the team was cut. It is a crime that although track and field ranks as one of the most participated sports in the country, other sports are deemed as more important. This has made my college decision harder and I, along with countless other athletes, will not be able to continue to participate in a sport I love due to Title IX and lack of funding. |
