Arizona State University Shuts Down Wrestling Program

Along with men's tennis and swimming, one of the great PAC-10 wrestling programs is now gone:

According to ASU's Vice President of University Athletics, Lisa Love, "These three sports were selected with the following criteria: financial impact, potential competitive success, conference/regional support and gender equity. Our revenue trajectory has been positive, however, our ongoing financial challenges have been well documented by the media. The decision to discontinue sport programs is a last resort, yet necessary."

It's cheap to say this, but I'd love to see which women's programs they kept in the name of "gender equity".
