It is quite ironic too, as Cal has been one of the more consistently top-ranked teams over the years." Budget cuts, PLUS reverse sexism, brings an end to programs such as Cal's gymnastics (and almost baseball). Think about it, only 17 Division 1 schools in the US still have gymnastics. Not too many more than that have wrestling, and a few more swimming and diving. Most of the sports beloved of Omnisport members are being cut. A diversity of mens sports cannot make it in a world where colleges must give an equal number of scholarships to mens and womens sports. Since Football makes all of the money for most schools, and has to give 60 or so scholarships to develop a good team, all other scholarships for men (besides the also popular basketball) are restricted or eliminated. For years there have been quiet drumbeats to include arts scholarships in the total number, since many more women than men receive these. Many more women also would prefer to receive scholarships for performance, art, etc. rather than for womens sports, BUT radical feminists put all their efforts into restricting the scholarship count to sports. So, some schools have womens teams in many sports, without corresponding sports for men, and traditional mens college sports are eliminated. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thu, April 21, 2011 2:23:01 PM Subject: [omnisport:14307] Re: NCAA Gymnastics Update As an annoying footnote to this event, this season may be the last for men's gymnastics at Cal ... a victim of budget cuts (boo hoo).
