[SIZE=4][LEFT][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]The University of Maryland is pulling a Rutgers. It’s dropping eight team sports, including swimming, cross country and tennis — teams that regularly produced high graduation rates — in order to save money so it can be spent on basketball and football, teams that regularly produce miserable graduation rates.[/COLOR][/FONT][/LEFT][/SIZE]

[SIZE=4][LEFT][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]Rutgers, a N.J. state university, did similarly, dropping sports that produced genuine student-athletes, [I][U][B]while its football program, between 2005-10, lost $115 million and head coach Greg Schiano’s deal was sweetened to be worth nearly $3 million per year.[/B][/U][/I][/COLOR][/FONT][/LEFT][/SIZE]

[SIZE=4][LEFT][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]So what that Rutgers academic departments and students are suffering mightily from cut-backs. Have you seen the varsity weight room and the athletes’ TV lounges? Wow![/COLOR][/FONT][/LEFT][/SIZE]
