Message: [QUOTE="ForCuseSake, post: 3632565, member: 266"] The "financial issues" for cutting men's gymnastics was the unwillingness to spend funds expanding opportunities for women's teams. Hence, Coyle not being interested in keeping men's gymnastics regardless if they were fully funded (through fundraising campaigns/alumni contributions). If Coyle decided to keep the men's gymnastics team while they became fully funded he'd have to either A.) cut another men's team/program or B.) Spend money on adding/expanding women's programs. In other words, he didn't care if the Olympic sport was fully funded, he wanted it gone so his AD didn't have to spend cash on expanding or adding a women's team. [/QUOTE]
