BYU had a great wrestling team 19 years ago that was axed because of Title IX.

BYU (the Church) didn't want to have a female wrestling team? If so, I agree.

Although it's a bummer that that caused the men's team to get axed.

And we lost the rugby team. What in blazes is BYU doing?!

It is puzzling. Club sports don’t cost the university anything

Are you certain they don't cost the University anything?

They regularly used Provo high school to practice, not BYU facilities.

We did?

Perhaps I misstated. We lost the entire coaching staff

Rugby is still alive with a new coach. We'll see how it performs.

Thanks. Eliminating a coach with 28 years at BYU makes no sense

Trimming the fat for the move to the Big 12!

No fat to cut

BYU really needs to explain its reasoning for these club teams.

I am a fan of BYU students; I am not a fan of BYU administration.

They did this to Rugby and Lacrosse as well.

Whatever Title IX’s purpose it has wreaked havoc on the nation’s Universities

I was under the impression that club sports have no Title IX implication
