OT: My connection to the 2006 NCAA Hockey Championship

Posted By: gregor197

Actually, the University of Wisconsin no longer has fencing either. (See http://www.uwbadgers.com for a list of all Badger intercollegiate sports teams).

In 1991, the UW dropped baseball, men's and women's gymnastics, and men's and women's fencing.

Prop 48, of course, had nothing to do with it. I believe you meant to blame Title IX which mandates gender equity for all educational programs.

More to the point, the more likely culprit was the $1.9 million dollar athletic deficit that Pat Richter inherited. Luckily, he was able to turn the Badger sports program around, but it took some hard (and gutsy decisions) by him at the beginning of his tenure. (See for example this Time magazine article: http://www.time.com/time/archive/preview/0,10987,972858,00.html)
