you know its almost stupid of them to not cut xc too. im an xc runner but i would never go to a school that didn't have track too. if you cut the xc team, you'll still have kids who'll go to be sprinters and hurdlers for track thus still having a good track team. you just gave up 3 teams for the price of two.
By your logic they just cut 6 teams for the price of 4. However, if they'd cut XC too they'd have had to add one men's and one women's sport to remain Div 1. They couldn't let that happen because they'd lose all the Big East revenue!
