| 303 | Marty Coyne | I find it deplorable the way Ohio Universities Administration handled the cutting of the 4 sports. Please reconsider and find other ways to make up the budget deficit. One more thing of note Title IX is a poor excuse for the cuts as the University was already in compliance!

| 306 | patricia a huddle | As a parent of a girl who played girl's lax in college (as well as high school), I am so sad to hear about what has happened at OU. As a parent of a boy who is likely to swim in college I am also sad. Being a long distance runner for over thirty years,and having run the Athen's Marathon (both at OU as well as Athen's Greece) I am so sorry that OU had to do this. I understand about money, but the opportunities that have been lost for those children (and coaches) is a tremendous loss. These higher level sports allow our younger kids something to aspire to. My daughter's best friends as an adult are from college lacrosse and I know many other girls who have their friends based out of lacrosse experiences in college. That loss of developing the whole body (not just the academics) is a shame that OU cannot provide for those who would have been playing in those activities. If there is any way to bring them back it would be greatly appreciated. |

| 316 | Chris Wehrman | You should not deny students the opportunity to participate in athletics under the belief that cutting athletic teams is fair and just. Instead, you are making a mockery of the University and the conference in which you are a part of. |

| 319 | Anonymous | Please do not cut these sports to pay for a bloated and overextended football team budget. |

| 326 | Phil Mishka | As a former scholarship athlete and graduate from the University of Notre Dame, I know I would not be where I am today without the oppourunity that sports gave me to attend school there.
Aside from that, the friends I made and times I had while competing are among the best memories of my life.
Please don't take that away from the student athletes taht give you their all every day. |
| 327 | Anonymous | Track & Field is the original Olympic Sport and the greatest expression of beauty in movement known to man (and woman). Pleae don't kill it because of Title IX. |

| 347 | David Briggs | If Ohio University drops their track and field program I will NEVER recommend OU to any of the students and student/athletes that I am in contact with. In fact, I will discourage anyone from attending OU. You are attempting to drop the program for the wrong reasons! |
| 348 | Beth Cocuzza | I understand that this might be a difficult decision, but is cutting student opportunity the answer? |
