    Seems like folks would learn that the world's not as big or as anonymous as it used to be. :nope:

    Could we just yank the men's swim team and use that funding for football? From a Title IX perspective, I think that would be fine. And who would really notice?

    On the small scale no one would notice. But it is thinking like yours that has hurt America's wrestling, gymnastics, and swimming programs on an international level like the Olympics. It would set a very bad precedent.

    My guess is the SEC would probably have a problem with that although I don't know for sure. Can't believe these guys posted something on the internet and didn't thin kit would get back to the coaches.
