Tsk, tsk. Sad to see a very decent baseball program go by 2012. :ohno:

All the Ivy League needs to become relevant again is to diversify its OOC schedule.

I'm guessing baseball ultimately wil stay....I remember when ASU tried to cut wrestling. It ended up staying on.

Cal's AD made a comment a couple of weeks ago indicating that he'd like to get rid of women's volleyball but couldn't because the PAC-10 mandated that all member schools maintain a WVB program. WVB has been one of Cal's more successful athletic programs. It's astonishing that cutting it was even discussed.
