University of Minnesota cutting Men's Track, Tennis, and Gymnastics

Lifetime return on track and field and xc far outweighs that of football, because the latter produces people who are and become grossly unhealthy, and future liability suits related to CTE might well hit universities hard in the future, whereas track and xc tend to produce individuals with lifelong health and sustainable fitness. So, it's short-sighted. And there is very little savings here available because they are retaining women's track in that beautiful new facility intended to be part of a 100 year story, in the video. The idea of employing Title IX as a cudgel not to promote women's athletics but rather to reduce men's athletics, mainly outside of and because of football, is a gross distortion of the law and so the law should be altered to remove this kind of excuse.
