boxman, think those dropped programs - esp swimming/fencing - will resurface or be re-energized as a result of an increased budget thanx to men's foots & women's hoops...unfamiliar w/ knights' pool facilities but fencing program, almost by definition, has to be a cost-effective line item...biggest expense is travel, yes?
anyway, appreciate the comeback, hope you don't mind the ramble...never thought i'd admit this but making some serious coin w/ wncaa, your posts always a factor...best, caper
