More Colleges Cut Men's Teams To Shift Money to Women's Athletics.

Naughton, Jim

Chronicle of Higher Education, v43 n24 pA39-A40 Feb 21 1997

As colleges cut men's athletics to provide more opportunity for female athletes and comply with federal mandates, male athletes are feeling shock and frustration. Since 1982, over one-third of colleges sponsoring wrestling have dropped their programs and men's gymnastics teams have decreased by half. Still, one study indicates only 10% of institutions are in compliance with federal law. (MSE)
