All Swimmers Unite!
ASU, used to be a school in the desert, now a rallying cry to save men's college swimming.  Last week, Arizona State University dropped men's swimming along with 2 other sports.  The number of men's collegiate programs are shrinking every year.  If something is not done, and soon, I really believe men's college swimming will be gone in the next 15-20 years.  This may also impact women's programs.  It costs a LOT of money to run a pool.  Are colleges willing to pay?  We'll see.  With ASU gone, the Pac 10 now only has 5 men's teams.  The Big 12, only 3.  The MAC lost so many teams, they've combined with the Sun Belt Conference.  There is hope, people are fighting these cuts.  A year ago Syracuse dropped their program and people fought like mad and it has been reinstated for at least the next 3 years!  Here is a link to the site trying to save the program at Arizona State.
