This.
You need to be more familiar with liability and who pays for the things you're using, because there's no guarantee or promise for your use.
Frankly, as a former athletic administrator, I can tell you that any time you scale back usage, people are going to be pissed about the manner it was done. The party on the short end of the stick will always feel disgruntled.
I will say it was probably a poor choice to come air your dirty laundry on LR by actually identifying your school. Given Toledo's not too distant past, if the worst thing their coach is doing is being impolite to someone who is arguably entitled, they're doing just fine.
Honestly, did any of you naysayers read the original post?
This is not a situation where there is a functioning D1 (or D2, etc.) men's and women's team and the club scrubs are battling over access to the athletic program's facilities. It is a situation where the stupid school scrapped the entire men's program but kept the women's program. It's apples to oranges, you monkeys.
