University reinstates women's team and drops men's after court action

Article here. Excerpt:

'Four days after a federal judge issued a temporary injunction that barred Quinnipiac University from cutting the women's volleyball team, the school changed course Tuesday and reinstated the program.

But while keeping the program in the face of a Title IX lawsuit, Quinnipiac said that it was cutting the men's indoor track team. The school had previously eliminated men's outdoor track and golf because of budgetary concerns.
...
Andrew Schneider, the ACLU's executive director, said testimony showed that Quinnipiac could have achieved its budget cuts without eliminating programs, so he was critical of the decision to cut men's indoor track.

"Today's decision ... is a false choice that unnecessarily pits men athletes against women athletes," Schneider said in a statement.
...
It's devastating," said Peg Sullivan of Ellington. "I think that they're all shocked, from the coaches to the players. They didn't see it coming. The worst part for me, as a parent, is that he loves the school. He loves the team. This is taking two-thirds of their season. And I don't think they really understand the mechanics of why."'

The mechanics of why? You silly twit.
Take a guess.

We all know the reason why.
