Cuts Hit Home, Sorta Kinda

Temple University, alma mater of Coach Groves and Bill Cosby (a smart-a** Freshman when Coach was a Senior) will be dropping Men's Indoor and Outdoor Track after this year.

It will keep happening.

  1. Along with baseball, softball, men's and women's crew, and men's gymnastics.

  2. Yet the football team can continue to rack up 2-10 seasons with zero regard for the bottom financial line.

  3. Harry was wrong about Title IX, and his comment reflects a biased view point which was not supportive of women's athletics.

    You can also be idealistic about athletics - but money $$$$ rules the day in collegiate athletics.

    Temple football was 2-10 and they're now cutting Men's Indoor/Outdoor track because that horrific Owl football program - decades of subpar results - is leaking money like a sieve.

  4. Also, Robert Morris dropped men's track and field and cross country. Temple said that they wanted to put more support into their "Olympic" sports. Wonder how that "Olympic Football" is working out for them?

    In PA, here's the list of schools that dropped Men's Track and XC: Cabrini College, Clarion University, Millersville University, Temple, and Robert Morris. Very sad state of affairs.
