Reply to "Bowling Green, Furman Eliminating Baseball"

For reasons that I have never understood, the powers that be at Furman have had a bit of a love-hate relationship with the baseball program for years.  There were rumors of the program being in serious danger around 10-12 years ago.  Then they had an influx of money and everything seemed alright for the last few years.  I'd take the Title IX stuff with a grain of salt.  If they're out of balance, they've been out of balance for years.  And we both know the current administration doesn't give a rat's behind about that kind of stuff.  I'm not saying Title IX wasn't implicated to some degree, especially with regard to the plan to cut 45 total scholarships across a number of programs over the next 5 years.  But, for someone to suggest that Title IX was a major factor (if that's what they're suggesting) in the elimination of baseball sounds like scapegoating to me.
