That makes sense, can't argue with it. But it can't be the same for every school can it? Does this mean that golf is as likely to be cut at other schools because of the lack of locals?
On a side note, the tennis team has been doing fundraising to self sustain for years but was not informed of the amount they actually needed to sustain. Private donations have made a new locker room and player facility possible, resurfaced courts, banners, and landscaping most of which happened in the last year.
Had the athletic department informed the program of the monetary issues could the team not have started saving this money for an endowment?
