I HATE title 9.

That was the dumbest decision ever. Title 9 is a factor as well of course

Why did men's gymnastics get dropped at the same time if it wasn't primarily

It was pre-emptive. They were worried the Men's Gymnastics coach would do UFC

Yes Title IX was the bigger deciding factor. In high school I worked with a guy

Oh I agree. But BYU did not like the idea of one of their coaches fighting MMA

Yeah, I can see that.

That sounds like the university we know and love.

The MMA thing was a factor. What a waste.

Pres. Bateman also didn't like wrestling. Between title IX and Schultz doing MMA

Schultz was awesome but a bit counterculture for BYU

Was Mako Sakamoto also too colorful for BYU?

It probably didn't help that the gymnastics team all got busted for drinking

So 5 years later you drop the program?

Brother Joseph continues to roll in his grave.

A small group of us back in the late 90’s spoke with Schultz about that. It’s true that the university didn’t like him
